    Heavy accent. Couldn't understand. I think she said that I may have a blood clot. Hung up on her.  Same number called back an hour later. Did not answer. No message left. Blocked number.

    Just rec'd. Call stating they were calling from  health care Medical center in Boston. Heavy accent, setting I have  blood clot. Funny thing is I do have a tendency nd have been treated for multiple dvts.  Hope whomever this is calling didn't hack into Tufts Medical Center.

    Called me 4 times. Picked up 4th time. A man with an accent said he's from some sort of Medical Association and was asking if I had a blood clot that was passed recently. I said no. He then asked if anyone in my family had a blood clot, to which I again replied "no." He started to say that was all he needed to know, but I hung up.

    If they spam out thousands and thousands of calls, don't you think the odds are that they will find someone that suffers from blood clots?  This is a scam to either sell you worthless medication or to claim you are eligible for some sort of class action settlement.  Of course either way you will have to pay them upfront before finding out you will get nothing of value in return.

    They are trying to get you to say "YES" and capture your voice and use it for illegal access to who only knows what BUT it sure is not good. DO NOT ever answer YES to any unknown numbers that call you.

    There have been several telephone scams in which the caller tries to elicit a "yes" answer from the called person.  Those scams have been around for at least four years.

    The good part is ... Snopes states there are NO verified reports of people actually getting charged solely because of their "yes" answer.

    Do you have any PROOF people have lost money because of the supposed "say yes scam"?

    Interesting observation:      
    Several posters claimed the "say yes" scam caused multiple people to suffer financial loss, but could NOT give us reputable citations or  links to prove that contention, and did NOT state how people lose money if they do not give card or bank or specific, critical ID information to the caller!

    Too many posters seem to be unaware of the truly dangerous IRS Scam.  The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) reports many victims who have collectively reported over $55 million in financial losses as a result of tax scams over the last three years.    That is a LOT more than the $0.00 loss so far verified for the "say yes" scam!  Want proof?  Read the info at this link:

    Telephone scammers need to call a LOT of phones in order to find a mark. For them, time is definitely money.  They do not want to waste time on a dead line, or talking to somebody who is not interested in their "deal".

    So, the modern / professional phone scammer increasingly relies on computer-aided messages.  Their computers recognize certain words or phrases, and then reply with an "appropriate" pre-recorded message, to keep the mark interested, and move the scam to the next level, so they can make a quick sale.  The mark's answers also cue the computer into determining the mark's interests, so the computer can offer something that is attractive to the mark.

    "Yes" is one of the recognized words.  The "yes" alone cannot cost the mark money ... the mark must give the scammer the card or ID information, but the scammer will ask for that information somewhere during their spiel.

    So, the advice, "hang up if you get such a call" is a good one ... unless you think you can have fun trying to confuse the computer.

    There is one exception that MIGHT be true.  Click on "Exception", below.

    Have you heard of telephone "slamming" or "cramming"?  Slamming is a procedure that switches one's telephone service from one provider to another.  Cramming is a procedure that adds unwanted services to one's phone bill. Sometimes, a mere "yes"  to a marginal phone company can "authorize" the change in service. Such unwanted changes are illegal.  More info here:
