The truth about the 'Can you hear me?' scam

You've probably gotten the call. It starts with a question like, "Are you a homeowner?" or "Can you hear me?"

The point of these questions, it turns out, might be to get you to say, "Yes."

According to some reports, your "yes" could then be used to sign you up for a service you didn't ask for and -- should you protest -- the scammer will then playback your verbal agreement to intimidate you. This scam has previously targeted businesses but is now allegedly going after individuals.

Should you be worried?
The Detroit Free Press reports the Better Business Bureau has fielded complaints from 62 people.Wisconsin's BBB says 50 people have reported receiving such calls. CBS News reports that authorities in Pennsylvania and Virginia have issued warning about the phone scam.

In none of the reports, however, has an individual been scammed out of any money.
