My Authorized Contact at your bank, the only person with whom I will have any dealings, may call me at any time and will be answered by an automated voice. Let me level the playing field even further by introducing you to my new telephone system, which you will notice, is very much like yours. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
