On the phone, to verify your identity they ask to send you a code. Then they give you the choice of either a text or voicemail. The following is the transcript from my call with a rep just now:
- Rep - before I forward you to my supervisor, I just need you to confirm your identity by giving me the code I will send you now, sir. Would you prefer text or voicemail?
- Me- (bewildered) ... What?
- Rep- Text or voicemail?
- Me- For the code you're going to send me?
- Rep- Yes, sir.
- Me- But... if you send it by voicemail... I would have to hang up to access the voicemail. Then call back and start over with a new rep. So how would you forward me to the supervisor?
- Rep- Yes, sir. That is why I gave you the option of text or voicemail.
-Me- ... Wha...Are you fucking with me?
-Rep- No, sir.
-Me- So this is like an intelligence test? I don't get it.
-Rep- Would you like me to send the code by text or voicemail?
-Me- TEXT. OBVIOUSLY. WHY WOULD I... Dude.
-Rep - Okay, I am sending the code. Please repeat it to me.
-Me- I don't see it.
-Rep- Okay sir, please give a moment.
-Me- ... Don't see it.
-Rep-Did you say voicemail, sir?
-Me- Did I say ... What do you ... Did you send a voicemail?
-Rep- Yes, sir.
- Me- I said TEXT MESSAGE. WHY WOULD I ASK FOR A VOICEMAIL?
-Rep- Okay, sir. My apologies.
-Me - Please. Just send me the text.
-Rep- I will have to send a new code, sir.
-Me- OKAY!
-Rep- Would you like me to send it by text or voicemail?
-Me- I... I don't think I can ... Click.
Situation remains unresolved.
