800-388-2200

This is a fake company calling to get your banking information as part of a scam.  They will tell you that your bill is late and they need to take your payment information over the phone or you will be hit with late fees.  They may have the last 4 digits of your credit card and your full name.  Hang up and call the customer service number on the back of your issued card or statment and report it.

Person tried to call me several times, hung up 3 times (more like slammed the phone), the 4th time they left a message after a huff and a puff.  The young lady at the other end sounded very annoyed I was not answering my WORK phone.  Left no name of the company or who she was, just to call back the the number listed above.  She sounded like she slammed the phone down when she was done too.  Very pleasant.  I didn't call back.

Called my office number to advise my account was past due and they were able to take a payment over the phone to bring the account up to date.  Area code was 816 == do not recall the rest of the number.  I requested if I could check my account and get back to them -- they gave me the 800-388-2200 number to call back.   Googled this number and found your website.

Multiple calls both to wife and to daughter who doesn't live here.  Calls to our fax line.  Asks for return call regarding credit card account and gives legitimate sounding hours to call back

Received multiple phone calls to our business phone number.  When asked what company they are with, only response was that she "was not allowed to disclosed that information". Gave the number 1-800-388-2200 for the party to return the call

Received two calls back to back from 800-388-2200. No message left, but it shows up in my caller ID.

this is an actual citi card company i called the number on the back of my card and they verified the number as a collection department.

This is some type of scam. I've been getting calls multiple times each day. There is never a person on the phone, only a recording telling me to call this number and that it is important and that this in not a sales call. Citibank doesn't know who the number is but it's not theirs. The voice on the recordings sound exactly like Citibank's, which is spooky. Stranger still, the Citibank fraud department doesn't seem to be very bothered by this. I tried messing with the system by entering fake numbers but it seems to know that the number is wrong or perhaps it always responds that way.

You need to do a little more research (even though Vclass already did it) or read the other posts better. This is not a phishing scam or anything like it. This is Citibank's Collections Department. Don't know why Citibank doesn't always acknowledge the number as belonging to their Collections Department.

Got this call, called the number and it said something about citicards and also something about AT&T.  It said to speak or say my account number.  It said to have my account number or social security number handy.

It would be best not to call them or type in your credit card info. Citicard does not recognise this number as one from their company. I thought I could get information on why I was getting these calls by calling and typing in my number, which they said they didn't recoginze and hung up. Then I thought I'd better call my company, (number is always on the back of card) and they are issuing me a new card immediately.

I keep getting call from these fakes and Im really annoyed that they wont stop calling me at my boyfriends house??? wtf. Dont call them back or give them your information.

1 800 388 2200

       Today is Sunday 11/25/07
       Above number called my house 4 times today
       and 4 times yesterday.
       I have a very sick wife for over 12+ years.
       There is nobody in this World who could help us.
       Please help.
       thank you.

You sir, are a liar.

DWS21208 - You are a liar.  It is not a collection number.  Stop trying to scam people.  Give up.  Maybe this type of scam worked before the internet came into existence, but now will information easily attainable, everyone who puts this number into google hopefully will realize this for what it is.  A scam.

I got the same call of this 800-388-2200. The caller id on last Friday is 505-797-6333, this Monday is 904-954-1093. I talked to Citi Bank Card Service, my credit cards don't have any problem and they indicated that they didn't call me.

I have gotten maybe 4 calls a day for the past week.  I finialy called the company back and they DID want my info and for me to make a payment.  I asked that they not call.(Hung Up) Afterwards I then called Citi cards and talked with Custermer Service person about it and they did tell me that 800-388-2200 was their number.  I understand precautions that we ALL need to take.  Once you get this call let them know about this website.  Inform them that you will call the number on the back of you card.  Then call, find out for yourselves that the 1-800 number does belong to Citi Bank.

I talked with the people with the 1-800-388-2200 number and got on a payment plan which was 6 months 10% APR at $66 a month and I believe it was a lifesaver. I still got my Citi card statements and monthly notices from Citi cards letting me know they were taking the payment out of my account. It sure doesnt sound like a scam to me, Citi cards was VERY much involved!

I had called 1-800-950-5114 on the back of my card. Citi confirmed that the number is theirs, and that there was no problem with my card. The operator suggested that it was some sort of marketing program. I asked to be removed from their call list.

My case involves a credit card that was duplicated and swiped at various locations (including walmarts and gas stations) and overdrafted by a significant amount. I have been loyal to citicards since I started my credit history. I paid the full amount every statement. I just had a brawl over the phone for almost 2 hours with various departments of citi. Simply put, they were trying to make me pay for the fraudulent charges. My point being, why should I pay for something I didn't buy??

The fraud department has already been working with me since last week. They've been pretty good. Even today, they were professional regardless of my ever-growing skepticism.

Let's talk about the collecitons department.. Their phone number shows up as 505-797-6333 and they will leave a message telling you to call 800-388-2200.

I gave my 16 digit account #, social, password, phone number, and address in order to get by the security check. Their approach was so horrendous, I refused to comply after 5 minutes of conversation. I even heard people laughing and having a party in the background. The lady that was talking to me sounded like a 300 pound toad. She was only programmed to get my checking account number to pay for the huge amount over the limit which is obviously not my obligation. My (do not trust anyone) nature drove her to transfer the call over to the fraud department. That would have made me feel better since they already knew what was going on. However, the transfer went to another business that had no connection to CITI. okay then..??

I immediately called back 800-388-2200 thinking I was scammed. The same lady picked up. She's the last person I would ever want to talk to. If you heard her voice, you would slit your throat and kill yourself. She did the same thing again, pressuring me to make a payment to at least cover the minimum or the whole amount. She wanted my banking information. That's something I never give over the phone so I told her good luck. I heard more laughter and party noises in the background. How unprofessional. The toad told me that she's gonna get the supervisor to handle this matter. I said okay.

I waited 2 minutes and heard all kinds of background noises. I asked myself "which financial institution places me on hold while not actually placing me on hold?" Obviously, the lady did not put me on hold. So I got scared and hung my phone and googled 800-388-2200.

This is the first result I got:

Now I got really scared. I called the number on the back of my card. After talking to 4 different people and 2 supervisors, I was transferred to the fraud department. They took care of everything. They told me it's not a scam but everything I described was in their history and it was the Recovery Department. Even now, I dont know if I should trust anything. Was the number I dialed from the back of my card somehow intercepted by a professional scamming group? Is 800-388-2200 a legitimate number? Is CITI a big scam? Can I ever trust anything over the phone?

Everything still remains a mystery. I will unlock everything by calling 800-388-2200 using different lines and hitting them with riddles like they've never gotten before. Not for vengeance, but to check on the validity. I don't trust that number.. I never will. They think they're too slick. The only slickness they got IS the lady who tried to get my banking information. Frankly, she's sounds like a huge toad. Toads are slippery. She must be a toad, inside and outside.

Conclusion: Once the fraudulent charges are resolved, I'm gonna switch credit card companies.

STAY AWAY FROM CITICARDS, CITIBANK, and CITIGROUP.

Nobody should ever have to go through my ordeal...
