The phone is ringing, and I don't recognize the number, All Caller ID says is, "NAME UNAVAILABLE".
Please help me figure out who is calling and what they want
I've gotten calls from 816-420-1169 and 816-420-1000. I've read about a half a page of what everyone else here has written and I called Citibank too, the number on the back of the card. The first guy I talked to was completely oblivious to what I was talking about. He, of course, said Citibank had no connection to those phone numbers, but that didn't help me at all. I went ahead and called again (I happen to have 2 cards... idiotic move, but they were my first credit cards, student cards). The second person I talked to was a young woman who knew what to do about it. She forwarded in the info to the Fraud Department and said I'd get a call back in about 24 hours. I'd agree with everyone else; it's a phishing scam. It only makes sense. Yeah, my payments have been late recently, but only because I'd just gotten laid off by the worst managed company ever. Other than that... for 2 years I've never gotten harassing phone calls like that. Who the heck would answer a call at 7 in the morning anyway from someone they don't know and it's not local? I saved the # in my phone book and set it to "NO RING" just like someone else on here did, good idea. Something for those who happen to have this feature on their cell, you can switch you volume to "ALARM ONLY" so if you use your cell as your alarm clock, that's all you'll ever hear in the morning, your alarm. This doesn't work so well for people who use their cell for emergency purposes... unfortunately. Might have to change my cell # after all this. Jeez.
