Phone call, 'your bank's fraud team'

"Good afternoon, I'm calling from the fraud department. We've spotted suspicious activity on your account. To keep your money safe, we need you to move it into a new secure account we've set up for you. I'll stay on the line and guide you through it."

What do you think? Is it a scam or genuine?
