Probably a scammer and you just went off script.

How would a scammer know the person actually did that?

u/raspberryharbour 1d ago

The scammer WAS the pizza

It’s true. I was the dog.

u/AdorableMouse1 1d ago

Then who was phone?! 

u/MoisticleSack 1d ago

They wouldn't. They'd expect the person to say no so they can offer to "help get their money back" in an attempt to get account information from them.

u/send_fleet_pics 1d ago

Seems more likely that it just yknow actually was the bank

u/MoisticleSack 1d ago

Of course. Pretty sure the guy was just making a joke

My bank has called me before to confirm purchases that they deemed suspicious because I was on vacation or something at the time, it’s not unreasonable to get a call from your bank for 3 midnight dominos runs in a row, especially if they’re in an area you don’t normally reside in

Yeah I once participated in a charity action on a blog that I followed (cakewrecks!) to donate 1 dollar a day for 10 days to a different charity every day. So on day 5 my bank called because paying slightly less than 1 euro every day, to a different American bank account each time, is very suspicious activity, even if it's a very low amount of money.

I explained, and they said they'd let the last  payment go through, but did ask me to stop, because it would keep flagging up every day.

i haven't thought of cakewrecks in years!

"one bon-bon is poison" holds a place in my heart forever.

My bank had a promo for gift cards and their app had a link that directed you to the promo.  Fraud alert declined every purchase I tried making with it.  Even their help center couldn't figure out why it was flagged

If it was a scammer though how would they know about the pizzas? Unless they somehow got your banking login info in the call and logged in before confirming any purchases.

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 1d ago

They wouldn't. That's why the joke still works. The scammer wouldn't be expecting a yes just like the bank isn't expecting a yes.

u/CueMoo 1d ago

I'm just happy you could tell I was joking, I thought from some of the responses that it wasn't clear
