Let's assume that whoever you're talking to is either really with the bank or some crook who does not have access to any of your banking information.

You can simply ask the crook to name the amounts and descriptions of the last several transactions in your primary checking account. Or the statement amount of your most recent credit card bill on a particular card.



I've done this kind of thing before when I've received calls.

Sometimes gets weird reactions from the caller but they usually comply.
