Could be the yes scam? Could be simple harassment.
I wish the FBI and CIA would look for repeat offenders, track them down, and chop off their fingers. Filing a complaint with the FCC is like pissing in the ocean: you feel relief. However, relieving oneself is a necessary usage of time and dealing with the FCC is a waste of time.
Quote:Could be the yes scam?Nope, no such thing......
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.
You should beware that something is amiss and pay close attention to WHAT IS BEING SAID if you feel the need to talk to a stranger who calls you out of the blue. Read about the various scams and educate yourself, so you are better prepared for the next call.
CID "Home Security" recorded male voice asking if I am the home owner hung up. Same scammer nonsense same CID from 11 different numbers in the last 2 months... BLOCKED for all the good that will do.
Caller ID stated: Home Security 1:44 PM 07/25/17616-219-1599. Calls here at least 5 times a week. I stopped putting them in my block call list just to see how many times they will call and how many different names or numbers, then I report them to the FCC. A bunch of scammers looking for their next target. The better thing I would never purchase anything from someone who called me - stupid dopes
You are wrong! The "Yes" scam is about your voice authorizing your (often randomly called) number to be issued to others. Some scammers keep it recorded with your numbert on file for the defense of the telemarketer in the event they are caught one day. I know .. I used to be one...
