Last time this happened I told the 'bank' - how do I know who *you* are? And then told them that I wasn't going to continue with the conversation.
And that will be the 'paranoid' way I will handle all such further calls in the future. Maybe then they'll get serious about protecting my interests as much as they're interested in protecting theirs!

Yes, same here. Thy called to confirm a credit card payment. I actually called the bank later, as I was concerned over it, and they confirmed I had been called by one of their people. Next time this happens, I will tell the person I will be calling the bank myself.
