Honestly that should go for all transactions. someone calls you to fix an issue or pressure you into buying something. Just hang up and call the company back. one thing I have learned from many years of support is the person calling always has power over the person being called. So flip the dynamic. same goes for car sales just walk away. hell go look at cars when you don't want one and practice just walking away and see how much power you get.
Regardless of flipping the dynamic, that's a good way to avoid scammers. It's easy to spoof an incoming number, but near impossible to intercept an outgoing call. If your "bank" calls and starts asking funny questions, just hang up and call the real bank to check.
