Exactly. If you get a cold call that seems like it may be legit, always tell them you don't have time to talk, look up the legit customer service number, and call them back.

Better to suffer the inconvenience of having to get back to them then to take the risk of discussing your accounts with a cold caller. If it turns out that they WEREN'T trying to contact you, you can alert them to the scam.
