So if the person has bought all your personal information on line, they can be you to the financial services firm.

the crooks have more imagination than you have security measures. . .
I have read the scam report, but it does not say why it needs my 'yes.'
I use no financial institution, that uses a simple 'yes' as authority for any form of transaction, and unless it was done surreptitiously, no one has voice recognition of me saying anything.
Plus they will need a darn sight more info than that as well.
Am I just old, thick, and missing the point?
