It's common knowledge among banks and the public that each bank is identified through "I believe" the first 4 digits of any account, of course according to the area you live in. I'm pretty sure if you look at your credit cards and other peoples banking statements you'll notice a pattern. From what your telling me it looks like at least the first two digits can identify each bank that has the account, weather it be a credit card or savings or checking… I might not have this info totally correct, but the point here is its common knowledge among people in the banking industries so don't be fooled by scammers who also can get this info. Banks will never cold call you for personal info.
