"I can't hear you. What's your extension again?

It's seriously the second question I ask on a cold call. If they really are my bank / etc , then they'll give me that super fast. If they try to give me a number, I assure them I have it in the phone book.

So many scams derail when you're calling back an internal extension from the well-known switch-board number.
