It was from a bank - I think it's the Halifax, but they never actually said:
*ring*
I answer the phone
Me: Hello!
(I always answer the phone like that at home.)
Them: Hello, can I speak to Mrs $Name please.
Me: I'm sorry, I think you must have the wrong number.
Them: Thanks. Can you confirm the fourth letter of your password please?
Me: Erm, hello? I think you have the wrong number.
Them: Thankyou. In regards to your current account...
The conversation continued in this manner - he was obviously talking to someone else, while I could hear everything he was saying. As to why he leapt straight to the password bit, I really don't know!
I only think it was the Halifax because I recognised the voice - he'd called a few minutes earlier about my mum's mortgage. |
