It seems people are still falling victim to this.
BBB Warning: If Caller Asks “Can You Hear Me?,” Just Hang Up
https://www.bbb.org/article/news-re...g-if-caller-asks-can-you-hear-me-just-hang-up
"You get a call from someone who almost immediately asks “Can you hear me?” Their goal is to get you to answer “Yes,” which most people would do instinctively in that situation. There may be some fumbling around; the person may even say something like “I’m having trouble with my headset.” But in fact, the “person” may just be a robocall recording your conversation… and that “Yes” answer you gave can later be edited to make it sound like you authorized a major purchase."
