Scammers record you saying yes on the phone, then use that audio to authorize fraudulent charges. Answer their questions with counter-questions instead, or hang up. Tell your family.
Never, ever say this word on the phone with someone you don't know. Let me explain. Scammers are asking basic questions like, can you hear me? Is this Nick? Or are you the homeowner? They record you saying this word, and then they use your voice recording to authorize fraudulent transactions or charges to your account. So if this happens to you, don't say the word yes. Answer their question with a question or just hang up. Share this with your family and friends.
