Strange Phone call
« on: February 22, 2017, 05:20:20 pm »
Have you ever received a phone call from a lady that seems like a recording, she was kinda laughing pretending that she cannot hear me at first because she was fixing her headset. I's kinda strange to me because every time she called, it's always the same laugh and she's always fixing her headset. Odd.

Yes i used to they sound like real people. When she or he said can you hear me i knew it was phony. When she asked the kind of job i wanted to look at .I said learn how to sell crack. I hope they heard that. Don't get the calls any more.

I recently read an article warning about that phone call.  It stated that when the woman asks if you can hear her, the people generating the phone call want you to say "Yes" so they can record it and possibly use your voice for unauthorized phone purchases.  So if you do get any odd phone calls, it's best to just hang up.

That is strange. I would just hang up on her. I have gotten to where I only answer to phone numbers I know. Too many telemarketing calls.

I would ask what is up with all of the laughing every time she calls your number, I would block the number.

At this point I'd definitely avoid calls I don't recognize. I'm so into that, I recently didn't answer my Insurance company because I didn't know the number. Thankfully, a text was sent and I called them back. I don't have time for those annoying calls. :bad:

I've been lucky on this type of call so far.I haven't had one yet.There have been two articles in my local newspaper in the last 3 weeks about this "can you hear me" scam.When I get phone calls anymore,I check the caller ID first.If I don't recognize the number,I don't answer.

OMG! Yes, I keep getting this call. At first, I tried to say "not interested" because I used to work as a supervisor in marketing so I generally do not like to hang up in someone's ear. But when I realized that it was a recording, I promptly hung up.

Wow, they must be calling millions of people . . . :)

I hate robo calls they have gone from a nuisance to a problem. I do not answer if I do not know the number. If it  is important they.

No, and if I did I would hang up right away because you never know these days.
