‘Can You Hear Me?’ Phone Scam Has Police Warning People to Hang Up Immediately. Police say answering the question “Can you hear me?” over the phone from an unknown caller can have serious consequences thanks to a new scam that is making the rounds in several states. The scam has been reported in Virginia and Florida this year and in Pennsylvania in 2016, WNEP reported. Authorities in Virginia say answering “yes” to the question can enable fraudsters to authorize charges to a phone, utility, or credit card bill. Police say scammers record the “yes” response and play it back to victims who try to deny the charges while the scammers try to threaten legal action. Law enforcement officials say the scam is a variation of one that began in late 2016.
