LATEST PHONE CALL SCAM

From encrypted passwords to padlocked doors, Canadians will go to extreme lengths to avoid scammers.
Now it may not be safe to pick up the phone.
A new scam relies on your voice to answer a simple question: "Can you hear me now"? The scammers try to bait callers into answering "yes."
Anti-fraud agencies say that simple acknowledgment can be used to make it sound as if you signed on for a purchase or service, and there's a chance you could be on the hook for those charges.
