Second time I got a call from this number and it shows on my phone as "invalid Phone number". NO message has been left. Scammers, scumbags, ... I just entered it on my phone as "Spam #10" and designate it as a blocked call.
another robocall again from 510-143-5576 caller ID said "CALIFORNIA" on Thursday 06-01-17 at 308 PM.
call was from a 'Jeremy" about a medical brace. Jeremy was a voice activated & response robot.
Jeremy the robot said "we received info since you have had back or leg issues".
asked "where did you get that information?"
Jeremy the robot responded "one of our affiliates passed the information to us."
asked him "what affiliate?"
Jeremy the robot said "don't have that information available."
I then decided to give Jeremy the robot multiple repetitive expletives and he had nothing to say and hung-up.
Going to mark this as SCAM, after reading all other comments. Called, CID UNKNOWN NAME, no message. Duh. Blocked. NEVER SAY YES to any robo call or other scam/tele call you answer.
Honestly, just be sure you have an identity protection service like Lifelock and you will be fine if they try and create accounts off of your ID. In today's world, everyone should be using such a service anyway.
Quote:The 'Yes Scam' or 'Can you hear me?' scam says they record you saying yes and hang up afterwards. Then use the recording to charge you or open accounts anywhere.Its a rumor!Could you open an account or charge something to a phone number by simply saying yes and nothing else? Try it and see for yourself how that goes!
I think it is very irresponsible for anyone to help spread this "yes" Rumor, without first investigating and understanding any possibilities towards its validity.
Ask yourself this:
What scam scenario wouldn't work with a simple yes from the scammer them self, that could only work with a recording of your voice?How would a caller know who answered, it could be your wife/husband/mom/dad or anyone who answered your phone and said 'yes' that gets recorded.What legitimate company would allow anyone to charge a client's phone or open an account with only a recording of someone saying yes?Why would scammers spend the extra time and effort on something that is simply pointless and a waste of time? Scammers could simply record voices from the internet or even passing on the street of anyone saying yes, if they really had a scam that required a recorded 'yes', as that would be much more efficient than making hundreds of calls everyday for a simple yes.
The Yes Scam is merely a rumor and unproven to have any validity that it could work. There may be scams where you agreed to something unwittingly and got recorded, but they need much more than a simple recording of a voice saying yes.
Saying 'yes' alone has no impact on pulling a scam, since a scammer could just as easily say 'yes' themselves. They wouldn't know its you or some family member who answered your phone, so recording a 'yes' is pretty redundant.
