ah, missed opportunity.

Your reflex should be, 'yeah, hold on a sec, while I go find a check or bank-statemnt'

then, just leave him on hold . . unless something inspired comes to ya.

Talk really, really quietly while reciting random numbers, so they have to listen really carefully....then blast 'em with a car horn.

Meanwhile, the longer you **** with him, the longer he has to trace your number, and the next thing you know (maybe tonight), some hairy bastard with a thick accent is breaking into your house and...

Be glad you didn't **** with him.

Speaking of which, the "citibank needs your account number" scam is making the rounds yet again; keep in your minds the folks you know who might not know better than to answer these things.
