When someone introduces themselves to you (A company) over the phone would they say the following or another ;
I have just opened an account with yourselves?
I have just opened an account with you?
Yourselves sounds wrong as I thought the subject and object should be the same but then (you) also seems wrong as they are not opening an account with me personally.
