Never Say Yes to Unknown Callers to Stop Phone Scams

February 3, 2026 Rachel Kim – Technology Editor Technology
⁣ Believe it or not, there is one ⁣word that if spoken to an unknown caller could make you the victim of⁤ a fraud. I will tell you‍ that word very soon.⁣ If you recieve ⁣a phone call from an unknown caller, you should avoid⁢ giving out personal information such as your social security number, bank and financial account info, and passwords. Any of the credentials you type⁤ to login to an app ⁣or ⁣a website should never be repeated over ⁤the phone. Use‍ common sense ⁤and do not divulge anything that you know ⁣is⁣ personal information.

Don’t say this one-word response to ⁢any unknown caller

Simultaneously occurring,you⁣ might be asked questions such as,”Can you hear ⁤me?” or “Are you having a good day?” Those are questions designed ⁣to get you say the one word you should avoid saying.As you probably ⁤figured out⁢ by now, that word is “Yes.” machine⁢ translated text from germany’s NRW Consumer ⁢Advice Center notes that fraudsters have ‍been using this tactic.
