Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

The correct approach is"I'll call you back on my banks normal number. Either give me an extension number I can ask to be passed through to, or add the correct number as a note to my account for the advisor to give to me"
That way, if it's an extension, you know its your bank. If it's a full number, you know the person you were speaking to has access to your account.
Another option is just to confidently give a completely wrong answer. If they accept it, it's a scam. If they know it's wrong, it's probably genuine.
