I had someone ring from a private number asking for name, & serial number.
Simiarly to you i stopped them and said because of the source of it i was not going to give out any information.
Politely of course.

However since it was my credit card i figured i should check it out so i asked them for their staff number and told them i’d call them back through their main line.

It was genuine. I asked them do people really give out that data over the phone.. . they said yup and while they could completely understand my concern i was one of only a handful who had ever called them on it.
