Many banks today have communications preferences options and I've told all of my banks that do to never call me directly. If I receive any sort of legitimate call from them I immediately follow up with a strongly worded letter that they should not have called me and violated their own security policies.

The only thing we can do about "bank behaviors make it easier for scammers" is to change bank behaviors. It's not an easy process, but unfortunately it is a necessary process.



One of the wonders of the world is how much unnecessary data they collect - just because they can demand it - with nary a thought of how much of a liability that is.

Guess it will take a few years of getting slapped for it to filter down.
