The idiots at my former credit union apparently subcontract out their credit cards to some east coast bank, whereas my bank and I live on the west coast.

I saw some bank from Florida, that I'd never heard of, calling me on my cell. I assumed it was some sort of scam and ignored it. They're too stupid to get a phone number which has caller id set up to read the name of credit union with whom I did business.

Just amazing.

Well, afaik caller id is actually unauthenticated and can be trivially impersonated.

You are missing the point. He (hopefully) won't trust the callerID to be the bank, but he will trust a "random" callerID to not be his bank/important.
