    RBS were surprised one day when I wouldn't discuss my account on an unexpected call. Nobody had ever asked her to prove who she was before apparently.

    Ask them for their Date of Birth, Address and Post Code...then the Sort Code and Bank Account number...see how they like it!!

    One day some company will do what they say they will do and charge a fair charge.:T

    Not doing the opposite of that which they promise and charge you a fortune for the privileged. :(

    Or maybe not:mad:

    I once got a phone call and some guy asked me to confirm my personal details, I had to ask him who the hell he was first and it turned out to be HSBC. They phone up all the time at really inconvenient times trying to sell you some new banking product. I wouldn't worry about it.
