While claims about recordings of \u201cyes\u201d being widely misused are often exaggerated, phone scams are real, and caution is important.<\/p>\n

The safest approach is to avoid answering calls from unknown numbers, especially if they ring once, stop, or come late at night.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If a call is genuine, the caller will usually leave a voicemail or contact you another way. If you answer and something feels suspicious, you can simply hang up. You are\u00a0\u201cnever obligated to remain on the line simply to be polite.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

To reduce your risk, enable spam and call-blocking features, monitor your bank and credit card statements, and check your phone bill for unusual activity.<\/p>\n
