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."

Today 5/3/17 I received a text message saying that I was approved for a $ 7000 loan and to contact a Alex White at 347-427-8395 (a NY number) I called and a person answered saying this is Alex( he had a Creole accent) he asked my name only and I told him. Just with my name he said I had been approved for a loan in the amount of $7000. He then told be he was calling from a ScamPulse.com accredited bank and that before he could transfer the money to my bank account I had to prove that I had $100 in expendable cash and the only way I could prove that I had the money was to buy a gift card for $100 and give him the info off the card. He also said when we hang up he would send a text telling Which card to buy. I received a text message asking me to buy a I tunes gift card and when I purchased it to call him.

This is a possible Scam from and Orlando Area Code. The caller asked if we could hear them, followed by saying I heard there is someone in your family that is hard of hearing? We said "No" to the second question, but don't remember our first response because it happened so quickly. The caller immediately hung up after we said NO.
