Comment on Do spam calls "I wanna buy your house" ever work? Has anyone ever sold their house like that?
ch00f@lemmy.world 3 days agoI’m not so sure this logic holds with how out of hand things have gotten. I’ve got automated spam calls that ask if I’m interested, I said yes, and they hung up on me.
It’s like the spam machine got left on over the weekend or something.

In that case they’re probably fishing for active numbers, seeing which ones are real out of the list they bought online. You should never say the word “yes,” when you’re on the phone with someone you don’t trust. Scammers will record that, clip it, and use it to cause all kinds of harm impersonating you

Nonsense.
If a voice recording could be used with nefarious intent you wouldn’t be able to eat a meal in a restaurant without being recorded.
