Scam callers pretending to be Citibank – red flags!

During dinner, a call was received with a Caller ID indicating a 'SPAM RISK'; although the caller did not leave a message, research revealed the number to be associated with Citi bank customer service, which I do not use

During the call, the individual claimed to represent Citi Bank's fraud department, stating my card had been compromised. The excessive questioning raised red flags, prompting me to end the call and directly contact my bank. This experience underscores the importance of verifying calls and not divulging information unless you initiated the contact.

Dont talk to them, it's a scam

I have identified this as a scam: when I expressed my preference to visit a branch in person, the caller abruptly terminated the conversation.

Despite initial suspicions, I answered the call, only to discover that the caller was a scammer posing as a CitiBank representative, seeking my account username.

Apparently, recieved an email stating: "Your account was verified using an International phone number." with the number 888-248-4226, advising to call if the transaction wasnt recognizible, we didnt and insted reportd to Citibank Customer Service.

This is absolutly a scam number, pretnding to be Citibank, but its not. I was at a Citibank branch when I recived a call from them and I put them on speaker phone, the moment the banker asked for their employe identificaton number, they dissconected.

A fraudulent call purportedly from Citibank's Fraud Department was received, and upon questioning, the caller responded inappropriately
