Caller claimed Citi bank fraud department was calling me to check on a credit card application. I already have two Citi Cards and did not receive a text or email from Citi. So i called Citi and they said they did not contact me and I should report the person who called me.
Total scam operation. Almost 70 calls registered on this thread and at least 35% of them are scammers. Scammers are desperately trying to make everyone think the calls are legitimate. "Legitimate". They repeat that word over and over again. Looks like the scammers are now targeting the anti-scamming sites. Which makes me think 800notes is making a dent on their income.
Not a scam. I got a call from Citi's fraud division (an 800 #) and a text immediately afterward on Sunday, literally two minutes after my card was declined (they had put a hold on it as a precaution) I used the link on the text to initiate contact. I was told there has been a breach at a merchant and that my card info had been stolen. I verified all the information. I was asked to hang up as they called me back to complete the verification process. It's then this (423) called me back with the same man is been speaking to from citi. He was able to tell me my last 3 transactions and said he'd issue me a new card. The card came FedEx today from Citibank. My money is present and accounted for.
They left a message to call 1-866-915-1472. I called and they answered immediately as Home Depot Credit and wanted my card number company and then HST. Sounded suspicious so I did not give them my HSt but card # and name was not a problem, Anyways, I called Home Depot Credit as on the back of my card and was told that 1-866-915-1472 was their number but did not know the local number. So seems legit.
Received a call, message left was "Hi, this is Staples commercial credit cards calling. We are calling in regards to a payment credit that is on the account if you could give us a call back at 800-669-5115 and reference the number 1226048. Thank you, and have a great day"
This is a scam, as I do not have a Staples credit card
This was a call from Citibank, she didn't ask for any personal information and knew the details of my last charges. It was in response to a possible fraud, they closed my account and are sending a new card. I did not find it suspicious due to when I logged into my account, it stated the fraud warning as well and I initiated closing the account. She only asked to verify my address, which I didn't give the city or zip and my phone number, which she already called, so wasn't concerned about that.
