There was supposed to be money out of my bank account and an overseas transaction. I have done none. Neither have I been abroad. I have no internet banking. The automated voice never asked for any identification from me or gave any to me. They ask me via automated voice to identify myself when I contact the UK number on the back of my bona vide card. I might be a silver surfer but not senile.
