LOL, ok. When I worked in the fraud department of Fleet Bank, I had to make outbound calls to cardholders and verify their card activity. You had to make these calls through a dialer, which would bring up the customer automatically. You could manually work the dialer as well. If you could not get in touch with the customer, you had the option of sending a letter with a number that they could call Fleet to verify the activity.

Well, I would come across the strangest names, especially if they were not English names. Imagine my surprise when the name:

"Ding Ding"

came up on my screen. No way was I talking to that person (I was laughing too damned hard), so they got the letter.

Another name I came across (not at Fleet, but at another job):

Bhang Pow



Hope I'm not breaking any laws by revealing those names...heh!
