Vishing - Security Attack?

I got a mail from my bank in last month about 'Vishing'.It looks like old trick for new technologies.

Definition
"Vishing" is an activity where fraudsters trick unsuspecting customers into providing their personal and financial details over the phone.

Usual Methods
Usually fraudsters pose as representatives of large companies, banks or public authorities like Reserve Bank of India.
The details may be used to carry out fraudulent transactions in the customer's account.

Note:
Do not reveal your confidential banking details like account/card number, PIN, validity date of your debit/credit cards, CVV, or other passwords to anyone.
