To be honest even after I had seen that the charges being described to me on the phone were indeed on my account I was still running through scenarios where this could be a fraudulent call. However, I eventually came up with the logic that somebody had already managed to put the charge on my account, and once they'd gotten that far, I couldn't think of any reason for the scammer to call me. Basically, scammers had visibly already won prior to the call, so the odds of the call being fraudulent were low.

True. On the other hand, I don't want bank employees to have never been told that cold-calling people to discuss their accounts is a bad practice.
