These are hilarious. Prank calls to FAO Schwarz. I can't believe people pay so much for this crap...
Anyways, it looks like the site has tonnes of other prank calls that I haven't checked out yet.

The credit card ones are excellent.
I've actually had my signature compared once before. The checker commented that they didn't match. But it was at Staples, and he realized this should be expected from people like me.

Am I the only one who had my signature checked lots of times in my life?
Do I look shady or something???

JOHN HARGRAVE: [I tell him] And Barry, for security purposes, I also need your mother's maiden name.
VISA: Uh ... my mother's maiden name, sir?
JH: Uh-huh.
VISA: OK. Uh ... please hold for a moment, sir.
[Hold time of 3:54]
VISA: Yes, thank you for holding. This is cardmember services, my name is Isabelle. May I have your 15-digit card number, please?
JH: Sure. [I give it to her] What happened to Barry? I was just on the phone with him and then there was a very long pause.
VISA: OK, for some reason you got transferred to the fraud department. I'm going to have to transfer you back to customer service.
JH: The fraud department?

I've gotten asked for Identification before... while using debit. I tried to explain to her that I had a PIN, but she didn't speak english and my spanish isn't as intelligible as it could be.

It's just you crazy north americans that don't ever check people's signatures - why on earth do you not do it??? When I was working in a shop over there there was one time where a woman gave me her husband's credit card but signed it herself and then was really rude to me when I said that she couldn't do that. I'd love to see your credit card fraud rates.

Yeah, whenever I've travelled I've found it's been a problem.
Then again, myself and my travelling companions are teenagers, and that could have quite a bit to do with it.

You got checked at Staples?! :O
They've never ever told me to check credit sigs.
And I don't plan on starting. Thats far too much work for me.
