I never say "Yes" when they ask "Is this (my name)?" They can use that "Yes" as your agreement to accepting their sales pitch etc... I always ask "Who's calling?" when they ask that. Just a suggestion!
I answered it, because I didn't recognize the number and the caller addressed me by my first name. Hi! Is this xxxxxxxxxxx? When I said yes, he began to tell me he was " Josh, with the Customer Service Department, and without a pause, told me I had been preselected to receive a " once-in-a lifetime trip to an exotic place", and that's when I hung up. Next thing that he would have asked me for was a credit card # to Guarantee the prize" ..........Pure BS scam
