With regards to the quote in the question
Someone representing my bank called me unexpectedly the other day and told me that "they needed an appointment with me. Could I just answer some security questions?"
As it was them who'd called me I was a little dubious, so when she asked if I could confirm my address I told her I'd moved house a couple of times, and couldn't recall if I'd updated the bank.
"It could be Church Road...?"
"...No, we don't have that..."
"Or maybe Steeple View...?"
"No... It begins T R E...?"
That was good enough for me. They knew when I was lying, and they knew the beginning of my real address.
Still didn't keep the appointment though. Cheeky fuckers.
