My disabled daughter received a call asking "Can you hear me?" She replied yes. I was on another call and did not hear the whole conversation, but the man did ramble off our address. We have only lived at this address four months. Once I started asking her who it was and where they were from, she hung up. She has just recently applied for some jobs, so she answered the call. Once I heard the "can you hear me?:", I tried to intervene.

I received a phone call either the week of January 16, 2017 or January 23, 2017. It was around 8:00 pm to 9:00 pm. I had been sleeping so I did not see who the caller was. The caller asked "Can you hear me" I said yes, then realized it was a computerized call, then started pressing random numbers on the phone key pad.

I have not heard anything since then.

The phone rang. I was expecting several return calls as my husband just passed away. I answered Hello, …no one, then I said without thinking…Yes? . Then he said "can you hear me". I immediately disconnected, but I had already said Yes. Is there anything I can do to prevent them charging me with something?
