I had a similar experience as they started that rant of I know where you live...losers!

unlawful telemarketers, block from future calling forever.

Stop this garbage Now!!  I am a very old man getting these terrible calls.  Please stop this elder abuse now.  Why, why, please why do this terrible assaults on old people.  This is very painful...

BLOCK THIS CALL

Was vulgar and threatening- said he knew my address and then read it over the phone as he continued to used profanity.

I received this scam pretending to sell a package from Las Vegas.  The scammer attempted to influence me to say the word YES.  I stated NO.  Be very careful to NEVER say the word YES on the phone inadvertently.  These scammers will record your YES to then attempt identity theft using your recorded voice.

The 'Yes Scam' or 'Can you hear me?' scam says they record you saying yes and hang up afterwards. Then use the recording to charge you or open accounts anywhere.

Could you open an account  or charge something to a phone number by simply saying yes and nothing else? Try it and see for yourself how that goes!
I think it is very irresponsible for anyone to help spread this "yes" Rumor, without first investigating and understanding any possibilities towards its validity.

Ask yourself this:

• What scam scenario wouldn't work with a simple yes from the scammer them self, that could only work with a recording of your voice?
• How would a caller know who answered, it could be your wife/husband/mom/dad or anyone who answered your phone and said 'yes' that gets recorded.
• What legitimate company would allow anyone to charge a client's phone or open an account with only a recording of someone saying yes?
• Why would scammers spend the extra time and effort on something that is simply pointless and a waste of time? Scammers could simply record voices from the internet or even passing on the street of anyone saying yes, if they really had a scam that required a recorded 'yes', as that would be much more efficient than making hundreds of calls everyday for a simple yes.

The Yes Scam is merely a rumor and unproven to have any validity that it could work. There may be scams where you agreed to something unwittingly and got recorded, but they need much more than a simple recording of a voice saying yes.
Saying 'yes' alone has no impact  on pulling a scam, since a scammer could just as easily say 'yes' themselves. They wouldn't know its you or some family member who answered your phone, so recording a 'yes' is pretty redundant.

You should be aware that something is amiss and pay close attention to WHAT IS BEING SAID if you feel the need to talk to a stranger who calls you out of the blue. Read about the various scams and educate yourself, so you are better prepared for the next call.
