o/t phone scam

730virgil · Feb 4, 2017

the last few days local radio has been talking about a new phone scam when you answers someone will ask 1 of 3 questions can you hear me or did you vote or do you have a job?
if you say yes they hang up.
however your answer has been recorded it will later be edited to make it sound like you have agreed to buy something.
so be careful when you answer your phone

That was posted on here a couple of days ago, but has been allover the news lately here also.

730virgil,
You could still have saved someone from a lot of anguish,
but you'll never know.
Thanks.

Any of you ever driven a tractor ? Just say "Yes or "No".

If I answer a call that is not ID'd I hit the reply button and the call connects but I don't say a word. The bots will auto disconnect if there is no voice, the spammers don't know what to do for sure.

Yep- It was discussed on here several days ago but, I'd forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder!
