RON: NEW INFORMATION
OPPORTUNITY ON A SCAM I FIRST
TOLD YOU ABOUT ON
FRIDAY.
THE "CAN YOU HEAR ME" SCAM HAS
GOT VIEWERS ASKING WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM,
BECAUSE THEY GOT THE
CALL, AND
THEY FELL RIGHT INTO THE
SCAMMER'S
TRAP.
>> FIRST THING HE SAID WAS CAN
YOU HEAR ME?
AND I SAID YES.
>> BARBARA
TRONE OF SPRING
GROVE GOT THE CALL AND HUNG UP
QUICKLY, HOURS BEFORE SHE SAW
A SCAM WARNING
ON THE AIR.
>> I THOUGHT WHAT AM I GOING
TO DO?
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO TO
ME?
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO CHARGE
ME
FOR?
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING
ON.
BRIAN: ACCORDING TO THE
BETTER
BUSINESS BUREAU JUST ANSWERING
YES TO THE QUESTION "CAN YOU
HEAR ME" COULD ALLOW A SCAMMER
TO
USE THAT RECORDING TO SIGN
YOU UP FOR A PRODUCT OR A
SERVICE AND THEN DEMAND
PAYMENT.
>> IT IS
ANNOYING.
BRIAN: IF A VICTIM LIKE
BARBARA WERE TO DISPUTE THE
CHARGES THE SCAMMERS COULD
PRODUCE AN EDITED RECORDING OF
HER SAYING YES TO THOSE
CHARGES.
>> I'M AFRAID OF WHAT I GOT
MYSELF INTO.
BRIAN: WELL, HERE'S THE GOOD
NEWS.
THE LAW IN PENNSYLVANIA
PROTECTS YOU FROM THIS KIND OF
SCAM.
PENNSYLVANIA IS ONE OF
ONLY 11
STATES THAT HAVE TWO PARTY
CONSENT LAWS WHEN IT COMES TO
PHONE RECORDINGS.
THAT MEANS THAT
BEFORE ANYONE
RECORDS YOUR PHONE
CONVERSATION, THEY MUST INFORM
YOU THE CALL IS BEING
RECORDED.
AND THEY MUST GET YOU TO AGREE
TO THAT RECORDING.
SO IF SOMEONE PRODUCES A
RECORDING OF YOUR VOICE THAT
YOU DID NOT CONSENT TO, THEY
ARE BREAKING THE LAW.
NOW, IF YOU BELIEVE YOU'VE
ALREADY ANSWERED ONE OF THESE
CALL, THERE REALLY ISN'T MUCH
YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT
THEM
FROM TRYING TO SCAM YOU, BUT
IF YOU KNOW THE LAW, YOU'LL
KNOW THE SCAMMER CANNOT COME
