I wanted to put on all manner of armour to confront whoever came up with such craziness. Banks are peopled with smart employees and when they come up with such decisions usually they will place a little footnote at the end that says something like ‘Do not reply to this number/email’. So basically you will be talking to phantoms if you try to reply.
