Yes.

Happier now? ;)

This is *always* possible.  It's less likely than with windows, if that's what 
you're asking.  If someone is calling you and pretending to be your bank, the 
phone conversation itself should be your first concern: better to hang up and 
call your bank directly on a number you trust, than to supply any information 
over the phone to someone you're uncertain of.
