Nope, its fact that they have never ever sent me any
advertising based on something in my gmail emails.

Calling is no proof of identity either.

Never happened to me. I have had a debit card suspended
because of what StGeorge said was suspicious activity for
cents. They claimed to have tried to call me, but they stuffed
that up somehow. No record of them ever doing that.

Nope.

And get a worse result when you are that stupid.
