They just called my cell. No message left.

I receive several calls a day from this number, it is always the same thing. Phone rings, I answer, there is no one on the other end. I hang up.
Today I call the number back to see what happens. It is the National Rifle Association, I hung up.

Called, no message left

called cell  no message

Called, but left no message.

An NRA survey/spam call. The first they did was ask me a yes or no question which immediately threw up the red flags about scams looking to get the called party to say yes. They then doctor what was said into a bogus authorization to take your money or to do something else in your name that you did not authorize or intend to authorize. Beware of unsolicited callers asking you a yes or no answer especially when yes is the most likely response.

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.
