One call @ my xtension

Yesterday I had a rather interesting call at my office extension.
It was from my bank who had called up to verify the details I had mentioned in my credit card application form.
The transcript went on like this almost exactly: (B stands for the bank officer who sounded a middle aged lady in a typical South Indian accent).
( the words after ‘in red show my comments or thoughts at that point of time..sorry if I am following VB syntax ..the language I am using in programming now)
B:Good afternoon, Sir.
Me: Good afternoon.
B:Who am I speaking to?
Me: Suhail.
B:Full name , sir please?

Me:Excuse me , I didn’t get you.
B:Sorry sir.this is from xxxx Bank credit card division.We would like to verify the details you had mentioned in your credit card application form
Me : Ok,carry on.
B:Where am I calling you up? ‘ Again the same thing …
Me:Can you be more clear please?
B:I mean , where are you now ?
Me:Am at office now.You have called up at my extension . ‘She’s speaking as if she randomly picked up a number and called me…
