I can see why saying "YES" over the phone can be dangerous [View all]

We have heard about it.

We are dinosaurs - say it up front. We use landline, AT&T. (Also iPhones.)

I was having hard time paying online so I called the customer service. Before I was asking for a live person to complain I was offered the option of paying while on the phone and I say... YES.

And so it went. Provided the card number, the amount to be paid and said YES several times.

I don't think I need to worry. I initiated the call but still..

Sometimes I miss the pre digital times.
