I've actually gotten legitimate calls from the bank, although the correct way to handle those is to say that you won't give any information to them but you'll call them back.

When my account had a fraud alert they called me just to say I should call them back immediately on the number on the back of my card.

I assumed this was normal.

Amazing they would call and request information, given how many institutions advise never to do that.

What a shit show.
