Cover ups ?

I got a call today from someone who said that I need to call this number to confirm a security issue with my bank. I don't trust any calls like that... so I went through the normal route via the customer number.

Once I got through, the customer rep confirmed my identity, and then mention that they need to verify something with my card. Which is good - that means it was the bank indeed had some issue - and it wasn't someone phishing for more information.

Once I had got things verified, I ask, well, why do you need to do this ? The rep quickly replied with that - there was a breach in the merchants that I had purchase product with. Then it seems that she quickly avoided all the potential questions I had and just ended the call.

What was that about ? I think there is a cover up somewhere...

Tho - I did hear a cheer in the backgroup.. perhaps she was getting ready to go participate... and party.
