Just received this phone phish. I suppose there are people who fall for this, but hopefully not many. I have heard that some of these are waiting for a "yes" confirmation, but I'm doubtful what just that could open you up to. Best advice is DO NOT RESPOND; HANG UP.

Obvious recording goes:

Hello?

This is Sarah Lawson, from the department of Visa and MasterCard. How are you doing today?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

@JGNWYRK
I considered replying with various inappropriate / unexpected things to screw with bot. Maybe next time.

@voltronic
Sometimes if you respond with something that makes no sense ("Do you like taking Turing tests?"), they will transfer you to a live person, which pisses off the live person. I had one today that wanted a name and call back number. So they'll be calling Texas AG Paxton.
