[Zancarius]

I remember thinking I received a scam call from my bank over an account, and I very nearly hung up on the lady (normally, I'll say something mean/hilarious, but I thankfully refrained from it this time).

The ironic thing is what made me realize it was legitimate: She was initially asking me about my physical address; I didn't give her the information but asked what she had on file. Two numbers were transposed. When I realized it was probably legitimate was when she was trying very hard to send me a bill for a statement they mailed to the wrong zip code, and she was insisting that I must have lived in that town at some point.

I told her I wasn't going to pay them a cent for a mistake on their part, and that I needed to talk to my local branch. So I hung up, called them, and found it it was legitimate. One of the employees transposed two digits on an account I'd just set up about a month prior.

But holy crap do you have to be careful about giving any information out. I can't imagine if this had been a phishing attempted from the bank itself. I think I would've dumped them to be sure!
