Say yes

I picked up phone and said hello. Someone (a recording) said my first name. I accidentally said yes. I then kept saying (over the recording) do not call me again, but the recording kept going. I know I have seen on the news never to say yes to an unknown caller, but they caught me off guard. Now I’m really worried. This just happened this morning a little after 8am.

In a questionable voice, the caller called my husbands name twice; when I did not immediately respond (as I was trying to recall who was calling) I was asked, “are you still there?” I answered “yes” and they immediately hung up.

Mr. *** received a call this morning. The caller spoke his full name and Mr. *** said yes. The caller hung up. Mr *** is concerned that saying yes may have given them authority to his bank account & credit cards.

I recent got a call say I have a late car payment. It was an answering machine that asked if I would like to speak to someone to make payments and without thinking I said said yes. The number hung up immediately and when I tried to call back the number was no longer working. I’m a freshmen in college without a job and I’ve never had to use my SSN for anything except for school related things like loans and my school bank account so I’m not sure if I should be worried or not.

I had a call last night that id’d Zaxby’s #750-1198. The caller was foreign asking if I was the home owner. I replied "no I am not" and hung up.

Today (April 13) I had another call 750-7957. The call was foreign and wanted to speak to the home owner. I just hung up. Later today we called both numbers back and they have been disconnected.

I don’t know if it is anything or not but I didn’t have a good feeling about it.

The call was an automated voice saying my car warranty was running out and asked if I wanted to speak to a representative. When I said yes the line put me on hold and then went dead. I called the car dealership and they said the call was fake. The automated voice knew my name and claimed that I had been sent letters, which again the dealership denied as my warranty is not running out. When I called the number back that called me it said the number was invalid. 803-219-1717

I answered with my name and the man said hello a few times. Sounded drowned out. Then said "hello can you here me?" I said yes. And also asked for a name. I said must have wrong number. He said sorry for the inconvenience then I hung up. I am worried that this may be the "Can you here me scam"

I answered the phone and the voice said "I this is Josh from the customer service department. Can you hear me ok." I was unaware that this scam was going around. so I did say "okay?" Kind of questionable. Now I hear that this scam was going around trying to get you to answer ‘YES’. So I hope I didn’t mess up by saying ‘ok’.

Received a phone call today from local number. The lady said something about her headset then ask if my name was ——. I said yes not thinking and she said because I had visited a resort in the past in Florida I qualified for a discounted trip/cruise including breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 2 nights. She ask if I was 18 or older and I said "I am" and she said excuse me I didn’t get that. I repeated it and she kept saying the same thing. I realized then that something wasn’t right so I hung up. Called the number back and it said the survey had ended.

I didn’t think anything about it being she said my name and she sounded like a real person.
