I've had exactly this problem. I basicly did "no, I'm not giving a robot my details", check number, withheld, naturally. Find time to go to local branch. Person in local branch actually tells me I did right thing, since I didn't know it was my bank calling, I didn't give them the details they wanted.

They put me through to the right dept in fraud prevention, and we covered it all nice and happy.
