After completing security procedures on this call, which involves pulling up security questions from public record (usually about previous addresses you've lived at or cars you've owned) to identify the customer I have this conversation.
Customer: Ok, can I ask you a question?
Me: Yes Ma'am.
Customer: So, what if I got Alzheimer's, and lost my memory, and couldn't answer any of those questions? How would you verify me then?
Me: ...........
...If you're mentally incompetent we shouldn't be accepting money from you anyway, Ma'am.
