| lenona321@yahoo.com: Nov 30 01:45PM -0800 Well, I found it via MSN, anyway. Don't think I've heard the phrase before - but I'm glad I know about it now! https://www.rd.com/culture/four-word-phone-scam/ Excerpt: ...Paul Marcarelli is not on the other line. For those wondering who Paul Marcarelli is, just watch any Verizon commercial from the mid-2000s, or any modern day Sprint commercial. He became famous for his six-word catchphrase, "Can you hear me now? Good," but now a variation of that very phrase is a go-to weapon for phone scammers. If you receive a call and immediately hear the phrase "Can you hear me?," hang up. The phrase is used to coax you into saying "yes," a word that, if said in your voice, is as good as gold for con artists. Scammers online are just as sneaky, so be aware of how to avoid these 10 online scams. The person on the other end will be recording the call, and would then use the track of you saying "yes" to access your sensitive information. How? The three-letter word is used frequently by companies to confirm account changes, security settings, and purchases, giving the scammer extensive access to your stuff... Lenona. |
