Hi friends,
Let me introduce a new app we've developed.
HelloWords is a language learning app where you can use the fragmented time to memorize words through interactive games.
Features:
1. Learn 22 languages at the same time, including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Turkish, Norwegian, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Hindi, Indonesian, Hungarian, Danish;
2. HelloWords uses "spaced repetition system (SRS)" based on the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve in order to never forget vocabulary again;
3. Memorize words through pictures and word elimination, with the correct game-based vocabulary learning approach, you accumulate considerable knowledge of a new language instead of wasting time!
You have to try and then could feel ingenious of design. Get it on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hellotalk.hellowords
We are continuously adding more vocabulary, and hope that one day HelloWords can be a pocket tool for remembering essential words in any language.

How does this scam work?

As I've said, I normally don't answer calls I don't recognize--unless I'm in the mood for a little fun. 
Like just now.
So I picked up, and a recording said there's a $99 charge on my card [no mention of company or which credit card], and if I wanted to authorize it, simply say 'I authorize' and hang up. If I had any questions, call blah blah blah number.
What's the deal? Keep in mind it's a landline. How would my doing either of the above give the scammers money?
This doesn't need its own thread: On a related note, a couple weeks ago, there was a faint message--from 8-something IN THE MORNING--that just said, 'Grandma?' The caller ID was not my grandson's name/number. No one in their right mind would call me at 8:00am, except for dire emergencies. So that was clue #1.
Around 10:00 the phone rang--with the same caller ID. I picked up.
"Grandma?"
"Who is this?" [Said in a sweet, grandmotherly voice.]
"It's your grandson."
"Which one?" [Sweet as can be.]
"Don't you remember?" [Dude, I'm old...but I'm not THAT old.
] "I have something to tell you, but I don't want you to get too upset."
"What's your name?"
"Michael."
"Michael?!"
At this point, I was pretty much done: "If this is some kind of bullshit, you've called the WRONG person. And if you really think you've called your grandmother, you've called the wrong number!"
*Click*
In case you're not familiar with this scam variation, they tell you something drastic--your son is in the hospital dying from a car crash, they're in jail for something they didn't do, they're in a foreign country and lost their wallet... The point is always the same, to bilk you out of money one way or another.
