No companies can ask for your Personal information with out meeting you personally. Phone interview is one of many process to get a job.

You can see a phone interview as a screening process, to skim out people who they think are not fit for the job.
I have given several phone interviews before and none had asked me about my personal information.

Internet Fraud is a billion dollar business and you should play it safe buddy. Giving about SSN, Credit Card info etc would be nothing but a foolish and a desperate act.

You could Research the company and call them and ask if they are one contacting you.

I had a friend who almost got duped in scenario similar to yours. But luckily that person contacted that company only to found out there was no such offer.

P.S. My friend also got an email with a legit company domain address.

Hope it helps !
