The government.
So yes, I'd give that information. I didn't have to, fortunately, Two of the answers were obvious on the Experian identity verification, the other two were "none of the above". I had to re-verify three times (on two different accounts, the first attempt to verify didn't take even though I had all the right answers, and then my account got locked up for some weird wacky reason) but I was able to get it to verify for me.
In a way, the information is less than what you'd have to send in to your state's Unclaimed Property department if you couldn't pass online verification. I had some funds in unclaimed property, and went through a similar identity verification questionnaire.
I am not about to call you a troll, but I do have to say I'm afraid you're being a touch more paranoid than you need to be. You're calling the number, so you know who you're talking to. If someone was calling ME and asking for the information? No. But if I know the number I'm calling is from a legitimate website for the government, and it's the right number, I'd feel safe telling them whatever they needed.
