I got a call from a 210 area code. Thinking it was someone I know in San Antonio, I answered.

It was a man claiming to be from customer service (didn’t say what company, only “customer service”)

The first thing he asked was “Can you hear me?”

I remembered something I read on Facebook saying people are calling and asking if you can hear them, then using the recording of your “Yes” reply as a way to sign you up for all kinds of stuff.

So I replied, “I hear you” to which he again asked, “so you can hear me?”

Me: I hear you

Him: I need a yes or no

Me: I hear you

Him: * hangs up*

Thanks to whoever posted that story. I probably would have answered yes the 1st time he asked.
