- Palatine, IL, USA

A woman called and said "Hi this is customer service, can you hear me ok?" I responded "yes" before realizing I was aware of this method, where a positive response to a natural question is recorded to use for identity theft. I then hung up after being told I was "pre-selected" for something. Thankfully I already have identity theft protection, but this should be investigated. The phone number 262-682-8051 was identified as from Muskego WI on my mobile phone, reverse lookup seems to confirm the same.

- Portsmouth, NH, USA

I use my cell phone for work. Phone rang with UNKNOWN number from Newton, MA. When I answered, the woman's voice (robo voice) asked if I could hear her okay. I said "yes" and immediately realized it was not a client of mine but rather the scam I heard about on the ABC evening news with David Muir. I immediately hung up phone but had already responded Yes to the question of whether I can hear her. I hope I did not obligate myself to anything but wanted to report the incident. It was today, Wednesday, February 22, 2017 at 3:47pm eastern. Per you question below, since this just happened minutes ago, I hope I don't lose money in future. Thank you.

"Can you hear me okay" recording.

- Land O Lakes, WI, USA

Caller said,"This is Josh at the customer service dept. Can you hear me OK?"

I said, "Yeah, what customer service department?"

Caller then proceeded to tell me that as a preferred customer, I won a free vacation cruise..."

I said, "not interested". and hung up.

Then it dawned on me that this might be a phone phishing cam call.

- Wichita, KS, USA

I received a phone call from telephone number 1-316-221-5554 at approximately 2:20pm on February 22, 2017. I answered the phone and the person/automation said, "Can you hear me now?" As I was replying 'yes' my wife was telling me about this scam. But, it was too late.

- Barksdale Afb, LA, USA

Answered the phone and heard: "This is Emily - can you hear me?" I said, "Yes" without thinking about it. She went on to say "Great - you have won a vacation package..." When I heard that, I remembered reading about the "Can you hear me" scam that allows caller to access banking information. I immediately contacted my financial institution and made then aware of the situation.

answered phone call from 12487310122

the caller said " hi this is josh from the personal claims department, can you hear me?" I replied NO and drop dead. He replied "Okay have a good day."

- Sioux Falls, SD, USA

Asked if you could hear them and then went on to record call about a vacation opportunity. When she went to stop them there was no longer anyone on the call.

Person called my grandpa, they told him MY name and said I had gotten into a crash and was in jail for being at fault, and needed thousands of dollars. My grandpa being the loving man he is, paid the scammer $6,000 dollars, and then called me (wish he would have called first) I am fine, no crash, etc. I prevent another $4,000 dollars from being sent out. The person claimed to be an attorney.

- Katy, TX, USA

This was part of the can you hear me ok scam

The caller said she was having a problem with her headset, sounded like a recording, but they got me to say yes.

- Mount Vernon, MO, USA

Caller asked if I could hear her then offered a vacation package deal. I realized that I should not have said "yes" as it could be used to authorize other charges and tried to get her to give me the name of the company. I could not understand her answer and told her repeatedly I was not interested. She eventually hung up.

- Jacksonville, FL, USA

My cell phone rang with a number I did not recognize, I answered it and a woman said hello, hello.. When I answered yes, the line hung up. I redialed the number immediately and the recorded message states the number is no longer in service. Concerned about the recent scams where your voice is recorded saying yes to use in scams.

"Is the Head Of Household There". Caller was a Male Voice, Sounded Middle Aged White Male. Ask question, "Is the Head Of Household There". Number appears on display which is NC Charlotte Area Phone number. After answering "Yes", caller hangs up.

- Carthage, NC, USA

Say yes scam

- Norwich, CT, USA

Called and asked if I voted in the last election and my name then hung up.

- Poca, WV, USA

We have been hearing in the news about people calling and the first thing they say is "Can you hear me?". After saying "yes" the scammer will use the person's recorded "yes" answer to do fraudulent activities (open accounts, deplete bank accounts, etc.). On the morning of February 7, 2017 at 10:12 am, I received a call on my cell phone. The person said to me, "This is Josh from customer service. Can you hear me?" I immediately hung up, and this person did not call back.

- Albuquerque, NM, USA

On the evening of February 13, 2017 at 5:58 pm the phone rang and I answered it. the person at the other end asked, "Can you hear me?" I replied, "yes" and then she proceeded to indicate that my husband and I had stayed at their resort and apparently was trying to sell a vacation at a resort. (My husband and I have never been to a resort and I knew then it must have been a scam). I, then, quickly hung up the phone.

I didn't find out about this scam until today when I heard people talking about it.

- Appleton City, MO, USA
