    My bank just called me to ask about fraudulent charges I didn't make in Ohio, and in the process asked me half a dozen verification questions and near the end I realized I never even had a way to verify I was really talking to my own bank.

    If you knew who I banked with, you could pull off this same call and get my mother's maiden name, PIN, and all sorts of identifying info on me.

    I'm gonna visit my bank to make sure it was real.

      @aaronpk they called three times after I refused the calls. I figured it must be urgent.
