I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I can't tell you how many times I've had this argument with a clueless teenager or barely 30 something even! Nice to hear I'm not alone. I do remember when it was illegal to give out that number.

I usually get purposefully disconnected from these calls or get put on hold for a half hour and then disconnected because i cant control my language. Then I have to have a drink to settle down.. This of course is exactly what they want.

This is one of the most dangerous security practices I have ever heard of from a bank and I would transfer everything ASAP to another one. This is what is known as social engineering and disclosure of personal identifiable information which leads to stolen identity. Sometimes they need it, but 99% of the time.....they don't. They can confirm with your address/card number.

An effective actions is utter nonsense until the AI gets bored and decides to get you to a live person.

I don't talk to computers. I just keep pushing the zero and eventually the machine gives up and passes me on to a person.
