The better ones have started to use voice prints. If they call you, they can then have additional verification that it’s you.
Otherwise, if they call me, and then want to verify details, that’s always “no”. Large percentage of the time, they just want to sell you something associated with your account, etc. anyway. Their loss.

I had an argument with a loan company who called me and asked me to verify with them so they could access my account details. I said no way, because they called me. They argued with me, patronised me, and wore me down. I said the previous time they called me they let me call them back through switch, but he said that's up to the discretion of the rep. I was so pissed off. I still am. That reminds me to write a complaint. Sorry, off topic on the OT.

I do not feel comfortable sending this for a few reasons, email is not secure, who knows what they will do with the photo like forwarding it, etc. How do you all handle this as I’m sure you’ve been in similar situations?
