Citi bank calling about card information

citi calling for card information. sounded fake. left message & on returning their call wanted ssn dob etc.

Are these calls legit or scams

This is the phone number for Citi bankcard applications.  I had applied for an additional new card.  The call to me was concerning my credit limit.  The person who answered was able to verify information that I had provided on my application, including my zip code and middle initial.

This call is from Citibank.    The word City is incorrect.  The correct word is Citi.  The word Citi is a truncation of Citibank.

This caller keeps texting me and leaving voicemails.

Citibank calling back about cr cd applied for last night.  Not a scam.

Citi called my home wanted to speak with me. I called them back and the lady asked if I had applied for a Citi Simplicity Card. The lady I spoke with identified herself as Lora. I believe they were just verifying my information.

Message said they were Citi.  Left a personal keycode I had to dial in when I called back.  Then it said they couldn't locate my application and I should call 866-842-8818, a non-working number.

Total scam- it is NOT Citi calling

Keep in mind, just because a number MIGHT be legit, doesn't mean the caller is!

Scammers spoof legitimate numbers to trick people into a false sense of security to answer their calls and attempt to get money or personal information from you.
This is why no one will encourage others to report of legitimate numbers, as they only confuse people into believing it is a legit call when a scammer has called them and they come here to find out about the call.

People who get legitimate calls would know its legitimate and have no reason to come looking up the number.
800notes is about exposing scammers, shady businesses and harassing type calls from debt collections, surveys, political and telemarketers or anyone who scams, lies or cons people.
People come to share those experiences to help each other understand who is bothering them and share what information they can to help point a finger at those criminals. The data is useful in knowing the frequency of the calls and even allow someone enough info to research towards getting a company's background history towards legal action.

The idea is to stop criminal callers, but posting about legitimate calls will not help anyone stop them. Sure people want to know who called and it could have been a legitimate call, but it only takes one post with confirmation of who the legitimate owner is to establish if its a call you can decide was legitimate for you. The fact that scammers can spoof ANY number is enough to say that even legitimate numbers have scammers who call pretending to be legitimate, so you just don't really know who is calling.

Shills will come here to post about the number being "legit" and try convincing people to answer the call so they can scam you.  So why help the criminals by posting about your call being legitimate? It has no impact on a legitimate business, only the shady ones and thats what we want to expose. Your legitimate post will only add confusion for others who read posts by those who shill about using the numbers they spoof.
