Imagine your phone rings, you answer, and a prerecorded voice asks “Can you hear me?” before promising a free gift card that you never signed up for. That’s a classic voice‑verification scam often used by telemarketers to harvest a “yes” recording and then sell it to fraud rings. To protect yourself, let the call go to voicemail, add the number to your carrier’s block list, and report the nuisance to the FTC or your state’s consumer protection office. Consider using a third‑party call‑filtering app, and never confirm personal info or press any keys while the call is live.
Daily calls from this number are harassment, as they either hang up or ignore my disinterest.
The caller claimed that we had won a prize, which seemed suspicious.
I wish there was a way to put a stop to it all
For the past three days, i've been geting calls with no messages, its realy frustrating and i wish ther was a way to stop it
Calls from this number are consistently followed by hang-ups on the answer machine, with a message claiming they are on their way, though the context and intent are unclear.
That a good tip, thanx
Like others, I've received unsolicited calls that were not answered, with no message left, and it's known that responding to 'Can you hear?' questions can lead to voice recording scams.
The caller said i won a free gift card because i registred online, now which free $25 card do i want, sounds fishy.
The appropriate action to take in this situation is uncertain; identifying the correct contact for assistance is a priority.
