Again, where's the internal security?
These people can't successfully "pose" as customers unless: 1. There's no internal security filter in place for customer service to weed out fakes, such as password or ssn info; or 2. the employees of said company are in possession of such confidential information and use it fraudulently, in which case they have criminal liability issues. So which is it?
