technically they can't, because if they ask a leading question and I get the answer right because it was a leading question, it's them on the hook. It's irrelevant in this case however because she didn't give me any information other than the balance on the card. Everything else I gave to her myself, which they heard when they listened back on the call, which is also (presumably) why they sent out that email. They'll not do it again in a hurry.Oh I see! A sensible person should have asked if they were concerned, especially as you'd answered everything else correctly. There are plenty of people who sound more feminine or masculine than they are, it's not really a good thing to base a judgement on
It's, sadly, relatively normal. At one point the bank and I were having this conversation every 6 weeks because people weren't reading the notes put on the account. I did have to ask them once how hard it was to pay attention to those things. Never did get a straight answer
this is the first time it's happened in a couple of years now, but as soon as they said "fraud alert" I knew exactly what went wrong.
That’s ridiculous @Lorcan and I’m sorry that you’ve had to go through all that!
I have a huge fear of using the phone so my mum usually phones for me but what if it was my dad or husband
I think it’s a statue
How stupid is that?!? Just cos you are transgender should make no difference whatsoever. Who cares if you are male and your voice sounds female? I knew a boy at school who's voice never broke and he sounded female but he was a boy so it does happen. That is totally ridiculous and very unfair.
It eventually got to the point that the bank staff, unaware of any other way to explain things to their colleagues, basically wrote that if the client spoke with an Irish accent, even if they sounded female, then they were the client. BECAUSE OF THE ACCENT. Never have I been so glad for my dodgy accent...
It is a hoax and has been whipped from nothing to something by hysterical parents and schools blindly sharing. EXACTLY what they are supposed to teach the kids NOT to do! My friend said it nicely "we've created a fear and given it a name and a face".
Drives me mad when people do that too.

Online 'Momo' game described as hoaxI’m going to have to look up what Momo is all about, never heard it before, it will be crackers no doubt, the worlds falling off it’s wheels I think
They are in a very bad position legally on that one. Especially as it left you so badly off. You could talk to them about compensation and if they play up just say fine, we'll leave it for now, I'll get some legal advice....
Goby Wan Kenobe you're not allowed to die! Oldest fish I've had and I love him loads. Touch and go last couple of weeks but really not well today so may have to PTS. 
Hate euthanising fish!
Totally understand your frustration/disgust. What a horrible bunch of
Well I'm going to rant a bit differently! Bloody fish that I've had nearly 10 years isn't getting better
And yes, at home, not many fish vets out there!

Not looking great
My parents have had to euthanise many of fish
Yes it's not too nice, clove oil is the nicest way (other than banging him directly on the head, could never do that!) as you sedate them first then add more to put them out of their misery.Aww your poor fish
can't do it, buried my beloved Percy the Pleco in my mums garden so may have to go there I think (so cats/dog in my garden don't eat him!) x

He's a great little fish, the 3rd one I got in my new shiny tank many years ago and he's lived way longer than I thought. At least 10 and a half so beats my niece! He loves peas, cucumber and bloodworms, all ignored and not eaten for over a week now.
The worst thing is the burial, they tell you to put them in the bin
I think my parents used clove oil too. Could never hit them over the head either. A friend of a friend apparently did that to her hamster and I was horrified! All my previous fish have been buried too. I hope your little guy rallies round xx
It's not a nice thought, I'd prob miss and cause more trouble! Never with a mammal though, that's completely wrong!It’s so sad
Poor fishy... my colleague who does fish research and has a home office vet licence says the kindest way to euthanise fish is to put them in a small container of iced water, then keep adding ice until they've gone... hope you dont need to though!It's not a nice thought, I'd prob miss and cause more trouble! Never with a mammal though, that's completely wrong!
If I had a fish vet I wouldn't do it but its only to stop them suffering, I normally sob from start to finish! Not done it in a long time, most of my fishies are a few years old but the others that are OAPs really hurt me when go to fishy heaven! End of an era in my tank if he leaves
Thanks Claire, hopefully he'll be sucking on some veg in the morning and won't have to do the nasty mummy stuff! xx
