She asked me if I could hear her ok.....Wanted me to say "yes" so they could record and use "yes" as confirmation to charge whatever and I told her "no" and she hung up almost immediately. Obviouslythat is what they were after.

There have been several telephone scams in which the caller tries to elicit a "yes" answer from the called person. Those scams have been around for at least four years.
The good part is ... Snopes states there are NO verified reports of people actually getting charged solely because of their "yes" answer.

Do you have any PROOF people have lost money because of the supposed "say yes scam"?
Interesting observation:
Several posters claimed the "say yes" scam caused multiple people to suffer financial loss, but could NOT give us reputable citations or links to prove that contention, and did NOT state how people lose money if they do not give card or bank or specific, critical ID information to the caller!

A_Real_ScamToo many posters seem to be unaware of the truly dangerous IRS Scam. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) reports many victims who have collectively reported over $55 million in financial losses as a result of tax scams over the last three years. That is a LOT more than the $0.00 loss so far verified for the "say yes" scam! Want proof? Read the info at this link:
