Idk about saying yes, the recording could be used to stitch together a verbal agreement to a contract.
Obviously not legally binding (at least I hope that it isn't in most countries), but still a major hassle to deal with.
I like to be vague, use words like possibly or perhaps, and see how long it takes until they realize I'm just fucking with them.
"Is this JakenVeina?"
"Speaking."
An alternative is to ask questions about features of the pitched product or offer.
Re: the first paragraph. Many countries have different laws for remote/unsolicited sales versus actual bricks and mortar sales. Where I’m currently living regardless of what I say or agree to I still have a 14 day cooling off period where I can annul any agreement or contract regardless of the circumstances. I think it’s called “distance selling regulations” in this jurisdiction.
