...but I can't help being skeptical. Still another warning about not answering your telephone with a yes if the caller (unknown of course) asks if you can hear them. It's always advice well heeded to not converse with any unknown caller. That is of course a given. But I fail to see how anyone can be trapped with a recorded word of assent alone. Would you not have to provide other information or agree to something else? How could a single syllable be proven to belong to a specific person. One site said the caller may call back, and based on that recorded "Yes" tell you are legally bound to whatever agreement they say you made. They then threaten to bring legal action if you don't pay. Allegedly some people pay up. Those poor naive souls don't stand a chance, but it's not the single word that did them in. It's the entire scam, which legally could not withstand any action . Except of course intimidation.
And while we're on the subject of skepticism, why do many recipes call for using unsalted butter when one of the ingredients is salt? How does the thing being cooked know or care where the salt comes from?
