Type of a scam Phishing

I received a phone call from an old friend I knew thirty years ago. Her telephone info on my phone said "blocked'. She said she was calling to see how I was doing and kept asking me questions that required me to say 'yes'. I remember this person had a history of being dishonest and felt pretty sure she was doing the "can you hear me scam' in order to record my voice. I later researched this scam and found out it is used by scammers in order to use your voice (the 'yes' part) for playback. If you deny you purchased something (when in fact you didn't) they will playback your 'yes' voice and hope you will think you may have forgotten the transaction. (I would imagine they use this scam against the elderly, thinking they may have memory problems.) My question to the BBB: is this scam prevalent and is the way I am describing the use of this scam correct? Or do they do other things with your 'yes' voice? What, if any, safeguards should I be doing to ensure the scammer can not do any additional harm?

My vehicle is listed online. I keep getting different scammers. This one texted with an out of state phone number, saying he just moved and wanted vehicle report from a link highlighted in text. Gave me no name, but just was asking for when can they come. I googled the website which doesn't exist. He avoids any answers I need. Finally told them to stop contacting me.

This phone number was called to me at 4:32 pm Tuesday November 27 2018. I have no idea who this and did not recognize this number. I called back this number and inquired who or what they wanted. I could not understand the person because of a hard dialect. I asked what was his company and then was hunk up on.

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Makes you think it is social security. Left phone message of all social _____ would be frozen right away. I had two calls from 2 different numbers. The reason I left out security in the second message is because they talk so fast seems they are saying social security when they are only saying social. They left me a voice mail, it was implied by not really said. Phone numbers are 800-772-1213. 415-364-8145. Please be careful

The telephone number 800-772-1213 actually belongs to the Social Security Administration according to their website (https://www.ssa.gov/agency/contact/phone.html). The other phone number listed is for a Robocaller using the Social Security Administration information to try to obtain your information.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

A person named Michael from (a company that he said to fast, you couldn't understand) call me on 10/25/18 around 2:00pm. He started asking me if I wanted my percentage rate on credit cards lowered. He stated he could help me do this and asked how much I owe, what was my highest balance on any card, and so on. He was a bit pushy and I asked him if he was a telemarketer, and he laughed. I tried not to give any definitive answers. Then he asked me if the beginning numbers on one of my cards were xxxx-xx. At that time I told him I didn't have my credit cards with me, he said he'd call me back later and never did. After calling the BBB, they informed me that this number was not to a business.

Received an automated call, saying it was a call regarding my credit card account. Was prompted to speak with a person regarding my credit card. Once I was directed to a live person, they began asking for my credit card info. I informed them, this was a call regarding my current credit card. They asked for my credit card information again, and I said I wasn't comfortable giving this information out. They began to get pushy and asked for my information again. I asked how they got my info, and any information on my credit cards. They then hung up on me, and when I called back got a voicemail saying the voicemail box was full. Like it was a cell phone number. The number that called me was 612-239-6030

Have received calls from this number for several months. Automated voice says it has time sensitive information for my father. On Wednesday 10/24 I answered but the call was disconnected. 10 seconds later a man called from a restricted number and apologized that I was cut off. I told him I was not my Father and that he should remove my number from his list and not call again. He immediately called again and was aggressive. I repeated to remove my number and not call again.
