While not giving your PII - including usernames, passwords, account numbers, etc. to unauthorized persons is a good way to avoid becoming a victim f phishing, the whole point of phishing is to impersonate an authorized person or entity, thus a person can still be a victim of phishing while believing they have never provided their PII to an unauthorized person.
