Well, this was new: a fraudulent call
-
Yesterday, I got a call from someone posing to be a bank call center employee. They told me that I have not taken advantage of my cash back points on the credit card and they are expiring. They would put these points as money on my card which I can spend anywhere. However, to get that money, I need to verify myself. I asked again, which bank they are from, which customer they are talking to and which card are they talking about. Hesitantly, they named a random bank I don't deal with. I put down* the phone. Told my wife about this and she said I should have trolled them. Now I would like to get a similar call again so I can be a troll!

You got to just confuse them and make them doubt their own grasp of English. stuff like "Do you have if seven tops over before screen lined the wall over bank?" Then act angry they didn't understand.

I have credit cards from multiple banks, and I think I'm not the only one. That's a rather sad attempt if they didn't anticipate such a question. I mean - I would need to ask this even if I hadn't any suspicion to start with ... :doh:
