Signup scam-don't get tricked into saying "yes" on the phone
Saw this item on Yahoo-the new scam is a caller asking you "if you can hear me?" If you say yes and the caller is recording you, your yes can be used to sign you up for products or services fraudently.
Quote:
"They're trying to get a recording of you saying 'yes,' " said Ron Mychaluk, a public relations manager with the Better Business Bureau of Central and Northern Alberta."They're going to take that recorded 'yes,' play around with that audio and make it seem to you, or a representative of a business, that you have paid for some advertising, a cruise or a big ticket item, and send you the bill."
'Don't fall into the trap'
In the past, the scam normally targeted businesses in an effort to rope them into office supply purchases they did not order. But it appears the scam is now targeting consumers.
