This person called and had said they were calling about a job a applied for. I was confused because I had recently applied for an internship and was unsure if that is what they were referring to. The woman asked if I was able to hear her and without thinking I replied “yep.” She immediately hung up and I began to wonder if I was just scammed. I have heard of people like this trying to get the victim to say yes and then hanging up. I believe this person was trying to record my response so they can steal some of my information or make unauthorized charges.

I have been receiving a phone call form Plains, VA and normally would ignore it because they would say on their message that they are trying to delivery my pain meds and needed to talk with me. I called back and told them to take me off of their call list but continued to receive the messages and they will call at least 10 times a day so today I answered and she said her name was Melissa and we were on a recorded line and asked if I could hear her. I said yes and she hung up and that is when I called it in to the BBB. They then told me to notify the Federal Trade Commission when the Government opens back up and report it to them also. BBB said it is a scam for voice recognition.

Caller asked "can you hear me?" upon answering in an attempt to get the victim to say "yes" to record for future money theft or to use to charge things in the victims name.

The call was a recording of a woman saying that the victim won a free stay at a resort and a cruise. I can’t remember what I may have said at the beginning of the call because at the time I was not aware of the scam. After realizing it was a scam I hung up the phone without saying anything.

2017-01-30, 7:54 p.m. Received call from (928) 433-4997 with Caller ID showing "Flagstaff AZ." The call was a recording, but the recorded script pretended to be a live person, saying something to the effect of "oh, I dropped my headset" or "sorry; I was having trouble with my headset" and at some point during that initial greeting asked if she could be heard. It was not initially evident that it was a recording; the recorded ‘caller’ was speaking so quickly that there was no polite opportunity to interrupt and it was about 20 seconds into the call before it was clear that it was a recording. The pitch of the ‘caller’ was that because I supposedly had purchased their products in the past, I was now eligible for this new fantastic offer, etc., etc. I hung up as soon as I realized it was a recording, but I believe that at the very beginning of the call I was asked if I could hear and I probably answered "yes" before I realized it was not a liver person. I assume that the entire purpose of the call was to get a voice recording of me saying the one word "yes."
