credit card scam
| Fri, 10-29-2004 - 7:15pm |
Got a email from "citibank c card" wanting my security code numbers from the back of my c card. I called Citibank and they said it wasn't from them, was a scam. Wonder how many people have given their info out to the scammer???

I can't imagine how many people have been scammed. It's terrible!
I'm sure a lot, which is why I *never* click the links in e-mail anymore that will require me give information!

I have received a couple of illegal spams from 'CitiBank' asking me to update my records with them. I am not a CitiBank client. It is obvious illegal spam and you need to forward these to the appropriate addresses above. This is a way for people to steal your identity. If the bank wants you to do anything, they'll send you a letter. Same with medical spams. Please report any that you receive. It's a small help towards stopping these individuals.
There are ways to spot illegal spams also. The Department of Ethics & Consumer Affairs has more information on this. Hope this helps.
I pay cc's and lots of bills online. These scams do not make paying bills online any less safe. Just make sure you go to the directly to creditor's website, and not use a link sent to you through email by someone you don't know.
