I got a call a few years ago from USAA, my credit card company. It was the right number and sounded legit. They said my card had been compromised and they need some information. I asked her name and extension. She told them to me, and I told her I will call back right now. I hung up, and called the main number for USAA which is #8722. That is all I have to dial (#USAA) and asked for the extension. The same lady picked up. I found out my card number had been used and they stopped any charges, but they wanted personal confirmation I had not authorized it, as it was some criminal case they were not at liberty to discuss. I was always curious what happened. They FedExed me a new card the next day.
And anyone that calls me and asks for sensitive information will be told I will call them back unless I know their voice.
