楼主很强的防范意识,赞一个。银行是绝不会主动打电话或发邮件要求用户提供账号信息或个人信息的。
这是 vishing:The combination of voice and phishing.电话钓鱼
利用电话引诱人透露个人信息或信用卡信息等
Voice phishing is the criminal practice of using social engineering over the telephone system to gain access to private personal and financial information from the public for the purpose of financial reward. Voice phishing exploits the public's trust in landline telephone services, which have traditionally terminated in physical locations known to the telephone company, and associated with a bill-payer. Voice phishing is typically used to steal credit card numbers or other information used in identity theft schemes from individuals.
拿到关键个人信息以后,骗子下一步可以进行identity theft, 身份诈骗,比如用你的信息申请信用卡。
还有类似的,比如骗子打电话或发邮件说你的信用卡有一笔可疑的海外交易,给你发一个貌似银行官网实际指向骗子网站的链接,让你确认账户或信用卡信息。

Commonwealth Bank of Australia—phishing email SCAMwatch radar
SCAMwatch is warning consumers to continue to be wary of unsolicited emails that appear to come from well-known businesses and financial institutions. Scammers trick unsuspecting victims into providing personal details so that they can steal your money or your identity!
We have received numerous reports about consumers receiving unsolicited emails that look like genuine emails from the Commonwealth Bank. A number of different bogus emails, many featuring the bank logo, are doing the rounds. Some are requesting that:
consumers participate in an online survey by offering money or prizes
update their account details
activate their bank or credit card
verify unusual transactions or
provide account information to qualify for fee refunds or unlock frozen accounts.
In these emails the scammer will request the consumer to provide their credit card/bank details to receive the money or prizes, confirm personal information, or request consumers' account number and PINs to update their information or unlock their account. Instead, the scammer will use these details to steal money or commit identity fraud.
If you receive these emails, or any other unsolicited emails that appear to come from a company, banking institution or agency, do not follow any of the links in the email because this can result in unwanted downloads to your computer.
Remember that reputable companies and banks will never ask you to provide your personal banking details via an email.
For more information about this phishing scams, refer to the security alert issued by Commonwealth Bank.
