The cheeky fuckers called me at work the other day saying something about my account activity and they asked for details so they could verify that I was who they thought I was.....
Needless to say they got told to get fucked.;)

I had that once, turns out someone did hack into my account and transfer cash. Back in the day you could get a new password with as little info as an address and email... such things you would gain access to if you sold something on ebay... luckily that process has since changed.
