The number is verified as valid when you pick up the phone or say hello, they don't need a "yes" for that.

Once they have a digital sampling of my voice, then what? I'm not asking for speculation, I'm asking for examples where the recording of a voice saying "yes" has been the final piece of information needed to cause someone financial harm. In what state and in which year did it happen? What was actually done (open an account, empty an account, etc)?
