FYI - this is a legimate number from Union Bank. It's the main phone number for their San Diego building so calls made from their customer service (and other) departments only show the main number.
They may have a fraud unit in the building. I work with their lending department and the same number shows up regardless who calls from there.
Of course always use caution when providing personal info!
I received a call from this number saying they are with union bank and there is suspicious activity on my debit card??? Nope. I call back this number and nobody answers, just tells you to press an extension but none was given. I called back the phone number they left in their voice message and they want my birthdate, last 4 numbers of my social, for me to answer 3 questions taken from public records, and God knows what else. I told the woman I was not comfortable answering these questions to someone I did not know. I asked if I could just call the 800 number I know for the bank or the phone number on the back of my debit card. She said that would be fine, but those departments were now closed and would not be opened until Monday morning. She said that my card was on hold and I could not use it until I gave her this information or went into the branch on Monday. So, they can hijack all my funds until I give some stranger my personal information. They say they are trying to prevent fraud but it sounds like they are the cause of it.
The same scenario happened to me today and they knew some recent transactions on my account which seemed concerning to me since I had a feeling it was a scam. They asked for my birthdate, address, then wanted my pin. My debit card did get shut off which they said they did because they suspected fraud. I am calling the real Union Bank now and looking into it.
I am sure this is a scam. Do not give the people at this number any personal information. Good luck!

CID says "Union Bank 0". The 0 is actually a zero. It is a hangup on my unlisted number answering machine. I don't have an account with any Union Bank. I never heard of any Union Bank until reading the above posts. I suspect it is probably a scam trying to get personal information, like most unwanted calls.
if I get any more of these I will flash the switch hook and hang up on them.
NEVER ANSWER OR GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION!
