Seemed to be a recording (afterthought) that asked if I could hear them to solicit the answer "yes." Now I'm concerned about what they will use my recorded voice to authorize.

SCAM! These people have been calling me every few months for years. Always call asking for "Jorge". When I say they have the wrong number they just go directly into their sales pitch. Something about breast cancer. I have asked to be removed from the list on multiple occasions. They just hang up on you at that point. I have blocked number but they'll just call from a different one.

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Received a phone call saying they wanted to send me a back brace and asked if my Medicare # was the same as my Social Security #. I told them I didn't request this and asked why they were calling me. They sound like foreigners and were very insistent.

Caller states you are eligible for an interest rate reduction and they go through the card information and balance, etc. I hung up before it went further so not sure what else is said.

I recieved a call asking if I was (name). He had a huge accent (you can tell he was Indian and not from this country). I said yes and then nothing happened. I hung up after 20 seconds. I called back ten minutes later and the phone number does not exist.

Actual real person Caller had "American" country boy accent. Asked if i was had HAM RADIO license and then said had a message for me, did i want to hear it? Kept asking if i wanted to hear the message... message was "..a reminder to renew your license.." with invalid dates, etc. Did not want to get more info, did not offer to do the renewal for me.. Expect was a phishing scam to either record a "yes" or if i was not asking so many questions, maybe would have sought more personal information. Very illegitimate.

I did not answer, but scammer left automated voicemail stating that an arrest warrant has been issued in my name and to call the number. My cell phone says caller is from Oregan and I live in Illinois. I searched the phone # online and see others are getting the same messages.

Pretends you are on a long wait. Was told I was the 14th caller. It took only about 90 seconds to move up. I was told they needed a one time charge to my debt or credit card of $1.99. I told them I do not give out my card to someone I do not know and they said have a nice day and hung up.

I live in Green Bay, WI. I got a call from someone asking If I could hear them. I believe I may have said "yes" but the call was breaking up. So I told them I could no longer hear them and I asked who I was speaking with. The call was disconnected. They called back many times and I answered a couple of times to see if I could figure out who it was but I didn't respond to their question of "Can you hear me?" I just asked who they were and then they would hang up. They called relentlessly until I blocked their number.

I have heard about the phone scam to get people to say yes. I received what appeared to be a local call from number 309-664/5233 it appeared to be a recording as I was listening my wife asked I would come help he I said Yes. Once I said yes the call dropped. I hit call back because it seemed fishy and I received a message that said this phone number was not in use.

Caller said my name had been chosen from a recent confirmation of a stay at a Marriott property and had qualified for a free trip. Then asked if I was over the age of 21? After responding "yes" the caller hung up.

Ironically, we just stayed at a Marriott 2 weeks ago.

"423" is our area code and "745" is a local exchange. I should have known better.

Received a call to my cell phone. It was a recording stating that my car warranty has expired and I haven't responded to their attempts. It is my last opportunity to renew the warranty. The recording asked if I'd like to speak with a representative. I said YES REMOVE MY NUMBER! And, then they disconnected with no agent speaking with me.

Every day, several times a day I get a call from a robo call with an machine talking. I don't hear the beginning of the message because it talks while my machine is talking but they claim there is a law suit being filed against me. I know for a fact that there is no such thing. I also don't know anyone in Miami, FL. IF there were such a suit I would get it in the mail so I am not falling for this, but I AM getting tired of getting these calls. The Do Not Call list is a joke because of the computer generating the calls. Please get this to stop.

Inappropriate sounding phone call concerning one of my adult sons who has never lived with me at this address and has never used my phone number. They appeared to want me to say "yes" which I foolishly did before I realized what was going on.

It seemed like a client phone call at first and started out as jumbled with a "Can you hear me" and then started an automated response. I accidently said "yea, I can" like a fool and then quickly hung Up.

I answered a call to my wife's cell phone. The caller said, "Martin?" I said, "Yes." He responded that he was calling about some work we wanted done. I said, "I don't know what you are talking about," at which point he hung up.

I called the number that came up on my wife's cell phone a few minutes later, and a recording said it was disconnected.

I am suspicious that this is a variation of the "can you hear me scam."
