COPY OF TEXT POSTED ON GOOGLE AGAINST 336-522-8998/8999
This is either Sears or Citibank (who issues cards as Sears Mastercard). Before you read my details, check your Credit Bureau files to see if they have entered negative remarks on your files. This is important, and if they have, file complaint with FTC and attorney General's office.
I had a Sears Mastercard account once from a promotional offer, but soon regretted it as I saw the rates change. I paid it all in full immediately and wrote to them closing the account. That was 7 months ago, but these basta..s are calling me everyday. The full payment is documented, but they still keep asking for payment and keep adding monthly late fees every month, since I don't send them $$. I wrote them 4 letters (certified) asking them to explain why they think I owe any payment after it was paid in full, but no one answered my letters so far. I got letters from different addresses, one of which was from a T. Wingfield, signed as Vice-president in Citibank, asking for payment. I replied to him also with the same question as above, and giving details when full payment was posted on the account. He never replied to my question either. To make matters worse, I saw negative entries from them in my Credit Report. I am not answering their call as I know who it is and what the subject is. The subject is a billing dispute and they are not following the proper (legal) procedure in resolving it to close the matter. I am filing complaint with Federal Trade Commission and State Attorney General's Office against both Sears and Citibank.
I called this number and they answer as 'Sears' then transferred me to Citibank, telling me that my card was 18 days over due by $69. This was true as I checked my account online. The customer service represented seemed to be aware of my account balance and activity, so it seems that this was a ligitimate (but annoying) call.
This is a total scam. After calling me for weeks they left a message. I was to call an 800 #. I did it asked me for my act # and internet pass code. I hung up and called the # on the back of my card. Citicard assured me I owed nothing and I reported this # as a fraud. They stopped calling for a week until today, they are calling again.

To Whom It May Concern, Referencing the previous phone scam numbers I've filed a complaint on: 480-282-6893 832-546-128?, (last digit left off on caller ID), 816-420-1002 214-618-5897. These are the numbers these people with a thick Middle-Eastern accent keep calling me from, each time they are rude, threaten arrest, curse, etc....they call my house, my cell and my place of employment daily. Now when they call from the 816-420-1002 number they say they are Citi-Card, (I DO NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH CITI-CARD), I now know the accent and voice of these men, so I know it's still them, they call on the weekends and all hours of the day and night....I AM SICK OF IT!!! I just sent you another update a few days ago on that last number they're calling from and here it is Monday, and now they're calling from a new number: 336-522-8998. They say they're calling from Sears, (AGAIN, I HAVE NO ACCOUNT WITH SEARS), same accent and men....I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THESE CALLS AND THE NUMBEROUS NUMBERS THEY SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CALL FROM. NOW THEY'RE USING ACTUAL BUSINESS NAMES! Is society getting to a point they can't even enjoy a phone of any sort because of these idiots...they are really making me angry. Thanks, once again.
