Caller in what initially sounded like a live voice said he was from the "Customer Service Department" and asked if I could hear him OK? I was expecting a call from someone I have not spoken to often and could not hear very well so I said "Yes" only to instantly regret saying it as the follow up voice sounded automated. I quickly hung up.

I received the "Can you hear me?" phone scam. The caller or automated recording started with: "Hi my name is John and I’m calling from the Customer Service Department…….Can you hear me?" I’ve researched that if you reply "yes" they store your response and use it for fraudulent charges that they say you’ve consented to. The fact that they have the "yes" response is used against you if you try to dispute the charges. I hung up immediately without responding to the question.
