And yet I still receive (legitimate) calls from an insurer (a major NZ provider) who starts the conversation by asking my name, date of birth, and physical address in order to "verify my identity"! That conversation quickly went nowhere. 

 

 

Happens from major banks as well. Had a query to one of them about getting a credit card and a representative called me and wanted to confirm my identity. Didn't happen.

 

Had it happen a few months ago with ANZ when my partner was opening a term deposit, shocking really a random person calling up claiming to be from a bank asking for PI before they will even speak to you.  Same with them wanting to set up voice identity, I assume in the last 12 months that has become a worthless form of protection.
