He asked "Can you hear me?" It is a trick to get you to say the word "yes" and they will stick the word "yes" anywhere and make it look like you agreed to order something.

DO NOT ANSWER Calls from 559-121-9491 it is a SCAM!
SCAM Update: If you get a call from a number you don't recognize: DO NOT ANSWER!
Let it go to your voicemail. Legitimate callers will leave a message.
If by chance you do answer and someone asks if you can hear them: DO NOT ANSWER!
If they ask you a YES/NO question: DO NOT ANSWER!
JUST HANG UP! This is a form of phishing.
If you’ve received one of these mysterious calls recently, you might be a potential victim of a new SCAM. Authorities across the U.S. are alerting citizens about the scheme, and have been since 2015.
The con works when a scammer calls an unwitting recipient, and then proceeds to ask if they can hear them clearly. Answering “yes” allows the scammers to record that response, and use it to sign you up for products and services or authorize unwanted charges etc. It’s not limited to that specific question, either. Be wary of any question from a caller that requires a simple YES/NO response.
Even if scammers don’t have access to your credit card information, they can possibly authorize charges with just your phone number and a recorded “yes” response. In other cases, scammers might demand payment for something that you didn’t sign up for, and threaten legal action because they have your response as confirmation.
To protect yourself from this SCAM, police and authorities are recommending several steps:
1) Don’t answer calls from unrecognized numbers.
2) Do not give out any personal information.
3) Don’t confirm your phone number or any other information over the phone.
4) IMPORTANT: Never trust any caller that says they are from a government or federal agency such as the DMV, Social Security, IRS, or court system.
Government agencies never communicate by outgoing phone calls, you can be sure it’s a fraud.
*AGAIN* If you don't recognize the caller or number: DO NOT ANSWER YOUR PHONE!
Let it go to your voicemail. Legitimate callers will leave a message.
Signed: Police Officer that hates these calls more than you can imagine.
