Type of a scam Tech Support

I rec'd a call from a gentleman (Foreign accent) claiming he could help me with my computer because they had detected trouble. They asked if the computer was turned and if I was sitting in front of the computer. I said yes, but I do not own a computer. I played along with him and he asked what I saw and then he asked that I verify it again and then he hung up. He called from 423-348-6454. I would like to warn others that this is happening.

The call lasted about 20 seconds and I was caught off guard and said yes. After realizing what I did, I pressed the block number on our phone blocker.

When I received the call I didn't think anything about it. The guy asked "can you hear me?" I was kind of caught off guard but I said yes. He proceeded to tell me that I had won a cruise. I hung up. The entire call was only 17 seconds. This happened on January 20, 2017. A week later I read an article about the "can you hear me" scam. I never agreed to anything and so far I have not discovered anything unusual added to one of my monthly statements. I hope my "yes" response will not be used for something I never agreed to. For now I just want to report the phone he used.

As I recall, female caller started by confirming who I am, then started talking about a vacation, (I believe) then the question, "can you hear me?". I believe, unfortunately, that I gave some form of affirmative response, then realized it was an automated call and discontinued the call.
