"Oh, it's not a sales call," she said - I hadn't suggested that it was, at that point. But she was keen to get on with her script. "It's an administrative call. Your account says you don't want sales calls, but that means you're missing lots of great offers, and I'm calling to get you to change that." So we chatted a bit more, and hung up.
I got one of those. (I don't bank with Barclays though, so I didn't think about talking to them about it.) She went straight to the point, we didn't discuss card details, I declined. In fact, I was mildly amused at the cheek of it. But I agree that the implications are more than uncomfortable. -- David Harley BA CISSP Security Author/Editor/Consultant, Antivirus Researcher Small Blue-Green World dharley () smallblue-greenworld co uk AVIEN Guide to Malware: http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk/pages/avienguide.html New botnet book: http://www.syngress.com/catalog/?pid=4270 Security Bibliography: http://www.smallblue-greenworld.co.uk/pages/bibliography.html Articles: http://watersidesyndication.com/inbusiness/; http://dharley.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
