We got a phone call today from a lady who claimed to be italian, spoke with an italian accent but in english. She said she worked in an italian restaurant and wanted to ask some questions, so my mother was like "Okay, why not?"
My mother took the phone and said she couldn't even understand anything she was saying, so my brother took the phone. The lady apparently said "Do you like italian food?" And my brother said "Yes" to a series of questions.
My mother then said "Oh wait, no! Hang up quickly!" out of nowhere, so my brother hung up.
She then explained how my aunt told her about some sort of telemarketing scam where irrelevant questions are asked, and every time you say "yes" you unknowingly agree to some sort of deal and they automatically take your money and give you stupid stuff you apparently purchased.
I'm not sure if this thing is all over Europe, but if you live in Europe, in The Netherlands or even anywhere outside of that area, and you recognize this kind of scheme, please let me know.
