You do realize that's not actually telling me anything, don't you?

[No part of this is not hypothetical.]

All you're saying is "I've been very honest, and I've done you a favor, too." Don't pat me on the head and give me a cookie. Don't ask me to jump through hoops for you. You've taken the time to learn my name, which means you have some manner of investment in me, one way or another. I can't imagine you'd invest your time in someone stupid enough to fall for flattery.
