If you get a call from a stranger, they ask you that "can you hear me" so don't answer them quickly by saying "YES".
If you say yes, that may create problem for you. They might be a scammer in front of you who can use your yes to buy something or anything else.
We are sometimes busy at work. Most of the time you don't understand and can answer quickly on the phone. So it's always better to stay alert

@Juliaacv I also attend the phone only if the number is known.Caller information from an app lets us know if spam is mentioned there, I don't attend at all.

@LotusEyes I usually don't even answer those calls. My phones announce that it's a spam. call. If I do answer, I hang up without speaking.

@DianneN Wow..this idea is so cool. If I attend the phone, I will hang up without say anything. 
Spammer will talk to himself alone

That's great. It is a good idea to ask such questions right away if there is an unknown call

Most of the time I don't pick up unknown numbers. That's the first red flag. But sometimes it's unavoidable. Like my boss who like to change his numbers. I might miss a call from him. If someone said any other word that Hello, I'll just hang up.

I don't answer phone calls from unsaved number. If I am expecting a call, I will answer.

This is very good advice. It's easy to quickly say 'yes' if you are asked this.

It has happened more than once and with other words--the best rule is don't respond to a phone number you don't know!
