Today its people/companies that phone you and then demand you answer questions to verify identification before speaking to you

Eg, Telstra phoned me to confirm something Ive requested has been completed. They phone me, identify themselves and then say to confirm the person Im talking to can you please give me your [surname or email address etc]

Ummm.. no. You phoned me. I dont have to tell you anything because you phoned me, I didnt ask you to contact me. The caller was completely thrown so I told him to send me an email, which is how I booked the work to be done in the first place

That annoys me even more when banks do it.

Yes this is a bug bear of mine too. You called me on the authorized mobile for my account; the onus is on you to prove you are legitimately the telco/bank/insurer not for me.

Got to love a major hotel chain spamming their worldwide membership with a promo that’s only applicable to members in the USA, ever thought of using filters IHG

This anti money laundering is out of control.

We send money to Thailand with Wise regularly and a few weeks ago we had a strange rejection where 3 weeks earlier it was successful. They say none on bank account does not match. Bank book is with with my wife here and you can't do anything in Thailand without ID. Suspect we may have been caught up in this mess of Thailand trying to fight gang call centre mules.

Now in Australia Unibet is asking me to upload a copy of debit card front and back with my signature on it. Serious right? Yes they are serious. I deposited $500 last week from my debit card and trying withdraw $475 to same debit card and its now been 3 days and still no funds.

The excuse is anti-money laundering laws which is total bollocks....

Well frankly, if there's any online service that's ripe for money laundering, it's gambling apps/sites. Wouldn't be at all surprised if they're being held to a higher standard.

FWIW I do not have any issues with Bet365, Sportsbet or TAB.

I have used Unibet for quite sometime and their deposit match offer was too good to refuse.

Yes! fortunately the CBA at least now does ID through their app i.e. they phoned me and then they send me a question through the app saying do you want to take this call or something like that.

I recently opened an AMP Go account and if you call them from the app then to verify you can quote a unique code from the app; and if they call you, you likewise ask them to send a code to the app and quote it to you.

WCMO is that yesterday BankWest sent me a letter saying they had cancelled (not suspended like Citibank used to do) my debit card because I hadnt used the card for over 12 months; yet my account is active with recent deposits and withdrawals. I've never had a bank cancel card if the account is still active (except where card expires).

As someone who does not use cash at all in Australia, and preferences credit cards everyday spend; I only really use debit card if travelling overseas.

Same for Ubank and it works quite well.,
