I can see that you are another reading is fundamental failure. But what I really love is when nitwits like you scuttle their own argument. You see, just as I said, your article proves that no one has actually been scammed this way. Maybe if you had learned to read, you would have noticed that the person mentioned in that article said that she hadn't seen anything negative as of yet. There are no (and this is the important word) ACTUAL reported cases of someone ACTUALLY getting scammed this way over the two years or so that this scam has been reportedly going on.
Now I am sure some other troll will come here and post a link to another news story where no one was scammed as well.
It seems everyone knows about this imaginary scam because of twitter (only idiots use twitter) but no one knows anything of the real scams where people have actually lost millions of dollars. So keep living in your fantasy world and when that IRS agent from Mumbai calls, make sure you clean your bank accounts out to pay them because it can't be a scam unless you say "yes".
Please describe how they did that, with only a simple "yes" answer!
You would then be among the FIRST to verify a simple "yes" (without additional information such as a card number) can cause people to lose money.
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 claim the "say yes" scam caused multiple people to suffer financial loss, but canNOT give us links to prove that contention, and cannot state how people lose money if they do not give card or bank information to the caller!
* Even more 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!
