Best course of action is:

Never reply any email asking you to introduce details. If you receive any, inform the company.

Never give any security details if someone phones you. If they are phoning you, they don't need those details. Again, inform the company, giveing them, if possible, the number where the call originated, though more often than not you'lll find that the call originated in a foreign country.

Back in Spain I used to work security, and you would not believe how easy it is to steal an identity in the UK. I mean, any crook used to work in Spain who came here would believe he had died and gone to paradise.

Be very aware and NEVER give any details unless you have started the comunication via the main company's website or the telephone number in your bill/statement.

Nugget4x4 got down on ebay that way.  One day he logs in and someone is selling 5 £1000 plus SONY vario laptops on HIS account!!!!

Cant be too carful!

I had that happen to me, don't know how they got my info though as I'm careful with it but logged on one day to find I'm selling a nearly new Merc for a song.  It was the multiple questions about it that got me, like why is the car in florida when I'm in England so i replied to them all and said it was stolen.
Have to admit though that E-Bay were fantastic, sorted it out in about 2 hours!
