Yeah, you can tell a lot by the attitude of the caller. A person once called my wife telling us about a potential fraudulent transaction on one of our credit cards. She was a bit worried so she came over and got me. The person started asking her about whether she made a purchase at this time, etc. I jumped in and told her to stop talking to the guy and call the credit card company back. The person chuckled and said "okay, sounds good."

We called the credit card company and there was indeed a fraudulent purchase, so yeah the real companies don't pressure you into unsafe things.
