Said it before, I do the same thing with phone calls from my bank, cc provider, cable, phone you name it.

I ask them what the issue is then tell them very politely that I have no way to verify they are who they say they are and that I will call back on a known number.

Last time it was my CC company re suspicious activity so it was legit but better safe than sorry.
