If someone cold calls me and asks me to verify myself, I refuse.

If it’s an expected call or they give me a good reason to, I’ll call their listed contact number back.

So far I have not missed out on anything of consequence by refusing to identify myself to someone who initiated contact with me.

I likewise refuse the bank’s call and they’re always really confused why I’d do such a thing - so clearly they have successfully trained all their other customers to be morons - and then they will no doubt blame them when they get conned.
