    A woman called Jenny rang and, after mentioning my name, she said she was from my bank -which she also named correctly- and she wanted to know a couple of things.

    Me: You're calling this time of the night?
    She: (laughs) We never close, darling and we can call people up until 8.00pm. Can I ask you a few questions?
    Me: Go on...
    She: I've got to verify your account first. What is your password?
    Me: Oh, no, I'm not giving you my password.
    She: Oh, all right then, I'll just put notes in your account!
    Me: You'll what?
    She: Don't worry, I'll just put notes in your account.
    Me: Oh, OK.

    I've just email my bank and told them the story.

    Has anyone had this happen to him/her? Never before to me?
    I don't know if I should be shocked that they knew my name, phone number (it's silent) and bank. How is that possible?
