My husband heard about this telephone scam via his Facebook group. Apologies if it has already been flagged up and I'm repeating it.
A scammer calls and asks 'can you hear me?' The aim is to get you to respond 'yes'. The conversation is being recorded and your voice saying 'yes' is used to further their purposes.
It's very difficult not to say yes, yet another reason to let all calls go to message on the answering machine.
