    Never, ever, ever, ever volunteer personal information, for any reason, on a call you did not initiate, with a number you haven’t verified from a trusted source, like a brick and mortar branch, or your online banking account.

      He said someone in the bank’s supply chain was compromised, as they knew a lot of details that should have been known only to the bank. Also that the only information he gave away were the last digits of a card number.
