Caller asked if it was me(my name). I responded with a questionable tone ‘Yes’. Then they hung up.
They just called again. Claiming to be with United Breast Cancer. Would not speak with me when I would not confirm who I was. They hung up.

Type of a scam Charity
I am repeatedly getting robo-calls from this and other "charities," despite having been told numerous times they would remove my number from their lists. They normally call and ask for "Timothy," and then when told nobody with that name is at this number, they say, "Well, maybe you can help." The groups calling are usually not even non-profit, although sometimes they use a real charity’s name (it’s dubious that they are that charity).

I received a call from our area code. When I said hello, the person or robot on the other end said my name, just one word, my first name.
When I said "yes" they hung up.

The caller answered with "Mary?" and I said yes, unfortunately. I immediately told her to take my name off their list.

Called and asked my name so that I would say "yes" then it switched to a different voice and asked if I wanted just the $50….?? I said noo, no, no and hung up so I did not hear the rest of the call. Realized a little too late it was scam caller. I have no idea if there will be issues from this. http://bit.ly/2jwpIyD

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare
I received a call from United Breast Cancer. The only question was to ask my name, to which I answered yes. The caller immediately hung up.
I’ve heard about a phone scam in which the caller asks a question in order to solicit an answer in the affirmative and immediately hangs up. Therefore I’m reporting this.

Identified call from United Breast Cancer. Asked if I was "XXXX". I responded "YES" and call immediately ended.
I am concerned that this may be a new type of the "can you hear me" scam calls.
