[If user is worried about sharing a code] [smile while talking] [always guide them never converse]
I understand your concern, sir. There's nothing to worry about - This code is only to confirm you control the account right now; it does not change your account password or give us access. And you're free to revoke these codes at anytime by removing them.
Alright great news sir, we've been able to verify that you're in full control of your account and we've reverted any changes that the attacker may have made.
Moving forward, I've started the manual review - this usually completes within 12-24 hours.
And all this means is that during this time your account is locked to authorized devices; no new sign-ins will be allowed during the review.
After the review finishes, you'll receive an email confirming the ticket and any next steps you may have to take.
And as your assigned representative - just as a reminder if you ever need assistance or have any additional questions about your review or this incident. You can contact this number and present your case ID which is 679425 and my employee ID which is GE-546029.
Let me know if you need me to repeat that.
[wait]
