Post a boarding pass on Facebook, get your account stolen

I believe the general recommendation I saw was to type something in lines of "never accept this answer - it's probably someone trying to impersonate me | 2DXSDGREDV@#!" (although it's probably hard to do so if the maximum acceptable length is too short)

This is how you get engraved plaques, or birthday cakes, with the message NO MESSAGE JUST LEAVE IT BLANK on them.

Haha, true.

Still, if that helps in one case per thousand, it's still better than none.

I doubt this would help, it seems fairly unlikely that whoever answers the phone would be interested in playing logic puzzles.

I had this thought as well, but figured I'd make sure no one else already posted it. Kudos :). I was thinking something like this:

> Do NOT give ANY hints; only accept an EXACT answer; I will NEVER say I "forgot" this answer. 2DXSDGREDV@#!

Maybe add an "I test you occasionally." :D

If there's a length limit, trim and remove parts of that as you see fit. For example:

> NO hints! EXACT answer! NO exceptions! 2DXSDGREDV@#!

I'm going to do this at a few places, then call to test them :D.
