A lot of banks these days make you identify a secure question and answer that a call center representative will ask you to ensure it's actually you they are speaking with (e.g. "What is you mother's maiden name?). Because a lot of these stock questions are vulnerable to a smart identity thief who has done some due diligence, banks are moving in the direction of asking you to make up your own.
From Tongodeon, here are some sample questions and the secure answers that would be GREAT to make the representative ask you:
A real live human operator always asks the question and waits for a real live answer. This measure has the potential to not just improve my account security but add entertainment value as well:
Q: Do you know why I think you're so sexy?
A: Probably because you're totally in love with me.
Q: Need any weed? Grass? Kind bud? Shrooms?
A: No thanks hippie, I'd just like to do some banking.
Q: The Penis shoots Seeds, and makes new Life to poison the Earth with a plague of men.
A: Go forth, and kill. Zardoz has spoken.
Q: What the hell is your fucking problem, sir?
A: This is completely inappropriate and I'd like to speak to your supervisor.
Q: I've been embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from my employer, and I don't care who knows it.
A: It's a good thing they're recording this call, because I'm going to have to report you.
Q: For the remainder of this conversation, "How can I help you today?" actually means "Would you like to buy some mescaline?" Do you understand?
A: I understand completely.
Special thanks to Bill Doyle for sending this over.
