Trigger Mike 1,264 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I got a spam call and tge foreigner said he was from my satellite TV company and said "is your TV on?" At the time I was watching TV. I asked which company are you from? He stressed in a commanding tone to "turn my TV on". I replied, " I need you to speak English and leave me alone" It got me to wondering what would happen if I had told him my TV is on. Would he be able to hack into my internet connection somehow? Why couldn't he tell it was already on? Link to post Share on other sites

Warden Callaway 5,190 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I was visiting with my favorite FFL transfer guy and he told that his smart TV told his smart cooking range to turn on the oven and set to some temperature. There was a cooking show on and the range was responding to the voice commands. Link to post Share on other sites

bgavin 2,013 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 He is looking for you to say "Yes" He will record this, and use it as "proof" that you opted-in to his scam program. When you get a scammer on the phone... SAY NOTHING and REMAIN SILENT until you hang up. Link to post Share on other sites
