Who Called Us

I received a call from them concerning citibank early fraud warning with particular recent purchases listed. I called citicard's 800 number and they confirmed this and stated that the earlier call was legitimate.

Definitely a scam. Saw an incoming call from this number, let it go to voicemail. I called Citibank (the number on my credit card) and all their phone numbers start with 800 or 888. Always call Citibank correctly, never give out your personal info!

This telephone is from scammers. They are trying to get your personal information. They got your name, address, phone #, and email because a vendor that Citibank had was hacked and all your information got compromised. They emailed me first, then they texted me and finally they called me from this # and left me a message pretending to be Citibank but they are not. I called Citibank and they confirmed that this # doesn't belong to them. If they call you don't answer and if you do don't give them any information. This scam is quite impressive because it is very realistic.

I dotn know hwo this is

Citibank

With the bases loaded you sutrck us out with that answer!

These people are in India not Maryland. I just called about a problem and asked where they were.

Completed a Citi-Card application they were only confirming if in fact i completed an application agreed that I did and then took the application the next processing level and that I would be notified if application would be approved.

Called this morning. Didn't answer. I do not have a Citibank or Citi card. No message left.

This is indeed Citibank's early fraud prevention department

CitiCards early fraud detection - they called to confirm I authorized a balance transfer, and that it was not unauthorized activity.

Others have reported the calls came from Citicards, Inc. I do have a CitiBank credit card. No message on voice mail.

There was all music in the voice mail. About 5 minutes. A nice one, but hey, I can do it without any phone calls!

Did not answer

Left message stating there was a fraud alert on my CitiBank Card and ask me to call 1-800-950-5114 or if I was suspicious of this call to call the number on the back of my credit card. I called the number on my credit card and they confirmed that there was a fraud alert on my card and asked me to verify some recent charges. I verified the charges were recent purchases made by me and everything was OK. The cleared the fraud alert on my card. Based on my experience I would say that calls concerning fraud alerts on a citibank credit card from this number are legitimate.

Call came to Kansas from Maryland at 11:02 hours Central Standard on 4-1-10. Call not answered and no message left. Called ID said "Hagerstown, MD".

Caller left a message and said my credit card may have security breach. It says I need to call 800-690-8056. But instead I pull out my credit and use the phone number on the back. It turns out they need to close my account for security reasons.

My caller ID identified the caller simply as "Maryland". The caller said she represented the CitiBank fraud department and that my card number had been compromised. After the call, I contacted the CitiBank fraud department via the number on the back of my card — the Maryland call was in fact legitimate.

This is a legit number. I used to work for Citi in Hagerstown. They handle Sears cards as well as a variety of other banks, not just Citi cards. I would still be on the alert, however, and not reveal any personal information. There are many programs available to spoof a Caller ID with a legit number these days. Your best bet is to work with whoever's calling from that number without revealing your SSN. In any case, if you are concerned, simply hang up, and dial the customer service number on the back of your card.

Caller called to identify me regarding an account

They said it was Citibank saying someone attempted to open a Phillips 66 card, then referred me to another number 866-771-3354, which tried to offer me 7 year fraud protection. I advised I want to obtain a copy of the application to turn over to the police and that number provided me with 877-766-3886. However, I think this is a scam. I believe they are "head hunting" for identities they can attempt to take. They always want to look up the application by a Social Security number, the address and full name of the individual. Doesn't it make sense that if someone was using a stolen identity that the application would actually have all of this information correct. Duh? I doubt they would have what they are attempting to steal actually delivered to the correct person's address. I did not give my SSN, nor did I give them my home #. Again, I believe they are attempting to steal identities by fooling people into giving this information to look up applications. Even though I called, "Al" at 877-766-3886, when I refused to provide him information he said if I feel more comfortable I can call him back at 888-201-4523. Why is he at a different number than what I originally called him on? BEWARE of any of these numbers.

Fed up with the calls? Capitol Hill is responsible for this mess.
(Our crusty politicians).

It's Citibank fraud department. They just called about unauthorized use of my card

They called saying they are from SEARS early fraud warning. Left a message for me to call back at 800-335-1517 and to have my account number ready. i called and was not comfortable giving my account. The lady said, "If it makes you feel better just call the number on the back of your card." I did that and it turned out to be a legit warning. Better safe than sorry right? Cheers.

they said it was sears and my card was compromised

Call came in via call waiting while I was on hold with Bose trying to place an order. I didn't answer it. When Bose came back on line, the representative told me that Citibank had called me to verify the order. I then called Citibank who verified that they had called me.

Safe to say the number is Citi's fraud dep't, at least as of now 12/17/08.

I called this number 301-790-4200 back and they weren't sure who called. I told them I don't and never had an account with them. They verified that and forwarded me to the applications dept to see if anyone made an application using my name/number and there was nothing on record. I asked them to add me to do not call AND do not mail lists. She said it might take 6 weeks to get me off all lists but she entered it. I talked to five people total and they could not have been nicer. I think someone might have simply misdialed--or, I have an identity theft issue that has nothing to do with the company.

I have NO credit cards whatsoever, or previous dealings with this company and am on do not call list so if they are calling you about card purchases, applications or possible fraud it's a SCAM and you should report it to your state Attorney Generals office right away.

Man asked for me by names and said he was calling about my recent application for a Citibank card. I told him that I did not apply for a card. He said that he would not process the request.

I called Citi's Fraud Reporting number and spoke to a young man. He verified that they do have a location in Hagerstown, MD. He also suggested that I call the credit reporting agencies and flag my account, just in case; he gave me the numbers to Experian, Equifax & TransUnion. I called all three and flagged my file.

IMHO... Identity Theft should be a capital crime... Hang the Bastards!!!

This was a call from Citigroup fraud about recent charges to my sears gold mastercard - I explained they were legit. It's good that they have someone watching out for us!

claimed to be from Citibank, asked for my social security number.

They called about an application that I filled out for a credit card...in the message they said they were calling from a bank card center. They said they needed more information.

Have called twice today while I'm at work - no message

I answered - heard noise in the background and then they hung up

claim 2 b sears

Citibank calling to verify cc app info.

This is not anyone affiliated with Chase. They are "phishing". Do NOT give them any information.
They have called my home regularly for the past 3 weeks, at least. It is an aggrevation. So, I called Chase when someone from this number told me we had a delinquent account. Chase does not own this phone number. They do not use this phone number.

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY INFORMATION!

They called both home and cell, I didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number. Came here and saw that it could be Citibank so I called back since I filled out a credit application online last night. It was indeed them looking to verify some of the information on my application to further process it...I guess to make sure that I am the person who filled the application out. Painless process, I'll know in 7-10 days if I'm approved :)
