over 40 years ago. And of course when asked about professional licenses and trying to expedite the process by answering before they list the choices, “medicine” is not acceptable because they see (and will only accept) “medicine and surgery”

Apparently fraud, most worrisome for cash transfers between personal checking accounts, is a major frequent problem and the perpetrators are getting more sophisticated. From a layperson’s point of view, in 2022 with voice identification and caller ID verifying the call is coming from an established phone number, “20 questions*” nonsense, be it public records information and/or personal account information (Mom’s maiden name, DOB, address, CCV) isn’t necessary. Although the perpetrators can simulate (calling from) a phone number, don’t think they’ve yet overcome/replicated voice ID.
(* Twenty questions is a spoken parlor game, which encourages deductive reasoning and creativity.)
