Still, beware: never give out personal information to anyone who cold calls you. Scammers are adept at spoofing caller ID information and have been doing it for years. You THINK you're getting a call from your bank, credit card provider, insurance provider, etc., because that's what the caller ID says.
They ask for personal information, you give it to them and your identify is stolen.
Always find a legitimate number for the organization you are allegedly talking to, and call them back at that number.
It's a cruel world and you have to protect yourself.
