so I figured I'd play along and pressed 1

sure enough someone with a heavy accent came on the line asking a series of questions all designed to get me to say the word "Yes"

after a few questions I told her that my toast had just popped up and I needed to go butter them.....

be careful, they're out there and they're getting slicker and more devious every day


Received the same call. Hung up and checked my account. Suspected the same. Thanks. You are one of those ‘good eggs’.
