Bank customers forced to reveal humiliating sexual details to beat identity cheats
Financial institutions have revealed that they are extending the range of personal questions required to confirm customers’ identity. A number of banks and building societies are asking for further private details such as ‘favourite sexual position’, ‘top rated porn site’ and ‘most experimental erotic experience’.
‘Everyone already has had to suffer the mild humiliation of revealing their embarrassing middle names and date of birth to everybody within earshot while phoning their bank from work,’ said a representative from the Financial Services Association. ‘But increased identity fraud means we now need personal details that friends wouldn’t usually reveal to friends or work colleagues.’
