I have never known any bank or financial business that will part with money with a 'Yes.'

I am, however, a bit worried about face and retina access, as I have this vision of someone stealing my hard-earned with my head dripping blood and tucked under his arm, or with my eyes in his hand!

Funny.

But a YES recorded in your voice, might be able to do quite a bit of damage.

Do you authorize this wire to 'whoever' of 10,000,000 GBP? YES

Or to authorize credit card charges, phone charges, etc.

I've read, whether it is true or not is a different question, that YES is the worst word to give the con artists.

What is the “Say Yes” Scam? - Genisys(R) Credit Union.
