Phone Scam

Posted on February 28 2017

How does the scam work?

A local number will ring you
The person on the phone will then introduce themselves and the company they supposedly work for
They then ask: ‘Can you hear me?’
Your answer is recorded, and if you say ‘yes’, your response will be edited and then used to charge you for products or services without your knowledge
If you try to disagree with them, they will then play back their recording of you saying ‘yes’ and threaten to take legal action if you don’t pay up.

If you receive any phone calls like this, please don’t say anything and just hang up.
