received two calls from this number - says hello this is Joe can you hear me ok - I just hung up because I saw on the news this is a new scam to get you to say "yes" and record the yes to use to get into accounts.

The reason you are "anon" is because you are a lying sack of poop.  This number belongs to a company that sells solar systems. They have had this number for a few years.  They do not do cold calling or record 'yeses'.  I think psychiatric assistance for paranoia is needed, ANON!  The reason they call you is because someone probably gave them an incorrect number.   I have dealt with them and they are extremely reliable.
