What is it with banks cold calling asking personal q's?
I mean...you would think banks would WANT you, on principle, NOT to disclose personal info to cold callers! But no! The tw@ts from Northern Rock, who gave me a withheld and unsolicited call again today, requested: 'Hi I'm June from Northern Rock and I just need your address, postcode and date of birth before we can discuss the mail we sent you recently'.... Certainly June, would you like my PIN number, keys to my car and details of my Swiss bank account too???!!!
Whilst they 'understood' why I was not compliant, by calling thery actively encourage people to get scammed and give strangers personal details. RIDICULOUS!
Thank you.
