Hi, I’ve never posted here and I’m also on my phone. I work at Large Corp and got an internal transfer from an offshore agent.
Agent: “Hi, person requested someone from the US”

Person: “Where are you from?”
Me: “I’m located in x area”
Person: “How am I supposed to believe you?”

Person: “You don’t sound American. Where did you grow up?”
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Person: “Where did you grow up? Answer me. “

Person: “That’s not a personal question I just want to know where you grew up”
Me: “I’m not going to tell you”
Person: “I don’t see why not. That sounds like something a foreigner would say. Why can’t you just tell me?”
Me: “Because it has nothing to do with x. If you aren’t going to verify x I’m not going to continue this conversation”
Should I have told them?
