- Springfield, TN, USA

I received a call from 901-987-8845 on my cell. They stated they were offering lower credit card rates. I pushed out to get my number on do not call list & he said I had to pay $285 to be removed & continued.

- Seattle, WA, USA

I received a phone call and the voice on the other end was a robotic female which proceeded to congratulate me on winning a sweepstakes vacation as I had, according to them, stayed at a vacation property which qualified me for the reward. After I asked which property qualified me and what was the name of the company that was calling me, I was met with various pre-recorded, customized, but nonetheless vague responses. Eventually I was asked if I was under the age of 70 but over the age of 18. I answered yes to this question. After that, there were no further questions and the I got disconnected. Looking this up online it seems I likely was the victim of an ongoing phone scam trying to get callers to say yes on the phone.

Although I have not lost money at this point, I might in the upcoming future. I will continue to carefully monitor my financial accounts for any possible sign of fraudulent or unauthorized charges.

- Houma, LA, USA

When you answer, the caller says your first name only. If you say yes, the caller then hangs up. No information given except a phone number on your caller ID. If you call the number back, it only gives you an option of 2 to remove yourself from the list.

Phone call where speaker acts as though they dropped their phone/had headset issues then asks you to confirm if you can hear them (by saying yes) and then a prerecorded message about a vacation package in Florida (Orlando) plays.

Unknown if they will attempt to use recording to act as authorization to make charges but if i see suspect charges I will file an updated report.

- Raleigh, NC, USA

I was waiting for a business to call me back and when the call came in with a local area code and the voice asked if I could hear them, I said yes without even thinking about it, thinking it was the business call return I was wait for.

- Houston, TX, USA

Scammer called claiming to be with a doctor's office and asked questions, getting me to say "Yes" and "No" on the call.

Possible travel or resort scam. Called consumer several times, until caller blocked the phone number.

- Ponchatoula, LA, USA

A female voice said hello and then paused to say she had a problem

With her headset. She asked me something and I said yes. She continue to speak about 75% off a cruise. I realized at this point that I was being scammed and hung up the phone.

- Arvada, CO, USA

Person with Indian accent asked on a static filled line if I could hear him. I said yes, than he goes on to say I am having problems with my computer. I said don't not call back and hung up on the man. But then my husband reminded me of the story the other day on The news of a scam where they get you to say yes then have permission to add bogus charges to various accounts. I don't know what to do know. Please advise

- Russellville, AL, USA

Received a voice mail from someone in Vashon WA claiming to represent the IRS and threatening me with arrest for tax fraud .

I do not know how to send a copy off a voicemail. Sorry.

- Wichita, KS, USA

I received a phone call at 1107 on 2/24/17 from a woman claiming to be named "Brooke." She stated that she was recording this call and asked "Can you hear me?" I answered "Yes." Immediately, I realized that this is the scam I have heard about on the news and immediately hung up.

- Washington, DC, USA

Caller with apparent East-Indian accent prompted me to say "yes" to receive some free promotion. She had my business email address and phone number.

- Hot Springs National Park, AR, USA

I was contacted by phone at 10:00 am on February 24, 2017 by the phone number above.. (501-313-0259) My phone says it was a Little Rock, AR number. When I answered it originally sounded like a real person saying her name was Katie (I think, not for sure on name) and that she was adjusting her headset when I said Hello for the second time. Then her spill went on to say they were contacting me based on information received from a drawing/prize type of entry. She said I'd get 75% off of a trip to Orlando, FL some other location in Florida, rental car, and then a 2 day cruise to the Bahamas. Once her speech was over, and at this time I believe it was all a recording, she says can I connect you to someone to take more information or something to that extent. My response was "We are not interested, no thank you." I then hung up the phone. I believe this phone call was a scam.

- Lyons, OR, USA

This was a call as seen in reports about yes responses

- Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Said hello, can you hear me. I responded yes, then immediately yelled no, no, no, no, no and hung up. They were saying something about a survey for free tickets while I was yelling no. It was a recording.

- Mason, OH, USA

Call my office phone and mumbled and I thought they asked if this was (my name). I said yes. Then said adjusting headset and then I hung up. I am getting calls like this daily so now I know how to report the numbers when I find them on caller id

- Lascassas, TN, USA

Lady called and asked can you here me. Then stated I was on vacation recently but could not tell me where. She wanted to offer another vacation. I hung up but stated yes when asked if I could hear her. I called the number back to find out what company was calling but it goes straight to automated message to state this survey is closed. This call just happened 30 minutes ago so I don't know if I am a victim of theft at this time.

- Saint Louis, MO, USA

Caller asks "Can you hear me okay?" And then asks to verify information for a supposed "pre-approved, all-expense-paid" trip.

- Palatine, IL, USA

A woman called and said "Hi this is customer service, can you hear me ok?" I responded "yes" before realizing I was aware of this method, where a positive response to a natural question is recorded to use for identity theft. I then hung up after being told I was "pre-selected" for something. Thankfully I already have identity theft protection, but this should be investigated. The phone number 262-682-8051 was identified as from Muskego WI on my mobile phone, reverse lookup seems to confirm the same.

- Portsmouth, NH, USA

I use my cell phone for work. Phone rang with UNKNOWN number from Newton, MA. When I answered, the woman's voice (robo voice) asked if I could hear her okay. I said "yes" and immediately realized it was not a client of mine but rather the scam I heard about on the ABC evening news with David Muir. I immediately hung up phone but had already responded Yes to the question of whether I can hear her. I hope I did not obligate myself to anything but wanted to report the incident. It was today, Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at 3:47pm eastern. Per you question below, since this just happened minutes ago, I hope I don't lose money in future. Thank you.
