The "Yes" Scam: Beware of Silent Calls
Your phone rings, you answer, and on the other end there is silence or a voice asking, "Can you hear me?". If you instinctively answer "Yes", be very careful. These scammers record your voice and use that "Yes" to activate contracts for electricity, gas, or phone services in your name that you never requested. The golden advice? If you don't recognize the number, answer with "Hello?" or "Who's calling?", but always avoid saying the word "Yes" until you are sure of who is on the other end of the line.
