IMHO this should be the law for financial and medical institutions tc. They should not be allowed to call and ask the receiver to provide verification information.

It doesn't need to be the law: I never provide any information to someone who calls me, unless I have a way of authenticating them.

You're set, then. But the reason a law would be beneficial is it would condition everyone's parents and people who aren't as awesome as you to stop trusting callers and start calling a known-good number.
