I'd have read him the riot act on the phone. My bank has big warning banners on virtually every page of the site warning me to be careful of scammers. Someone calling me on the phone and asking for my TIN? Yeah, I don't think so.

No point. If he is a scammer he has a thick skin. If he is working for the bank this is either a training or a policy issue.

Just refuse politely and report to the bank. (preferably to some security channel if there is one.)
