8164201002

I have received 5 calls in the last two days. No message is left to call them back or giving details of reason for insentient and annoying calls. This is the second time this has happened both times with different numbers so my Caller ID never knows who is calling. I do not answer numbers that do not appear with a Caller ID that I recognize (i.e. unknown numbers or unavailable). This number (as well as any and all calls from Citi Bank appear as Unavailable or random calls from random numbers from random area codes, none of which correspond to the number on the back of the card except that someone will answer and quickly and rudly say "Citi Cards password" in the most abnoxious demanding manner.
Not only am I caught up on all payments and paying on time but I've arrange for a transfer of any and all remaining balance so I can cancle my "service" from them. They are terrible!

got 3 calls today from these idiots!!! first one at 8 o'clock this morning?!? on a Sunday?!? uh...yah...its a scam...

Calls at least 5 times a day.  BE SMART PEOPLE!  No legitimate company will solicit your account number over the phone or email.  Unless YOU have called the number on the back of your card, DO NOT give someone your account number.

Anyway, I called the number back, sure enough it's a recording so I basically started screaming on the phone out of sheer frustration and lo and behold I am on hold waiting to talk to a live person!  I'm not sure how I accessed that function since it had asked me to enter or speak my account number and I was screaming about cease and desist.  So finally I get a person on the line and she immediately asks if she can have my account number and I say no but you can remove me from your list and I went on to complain about the constant calls and SHE HUNG UP ON ME!!!  Sure, I wasn't exactly being sweet about it but should I have to??

So I called back and was a little nicer.  This woman said she can't help me so she gave me another number to call saying this was the number I needed to call to be removed.  So I called and a man with a very arrogant tone says this is the collections department I have no idea why they would have told you to call here.  I go on to tell him that prerecorded telemarketing is illegal and he, again with the most arrogant tone, says he begs to differ when it involves collections.  i said collections would not call and ask me to enter an account number and furthermore I haven't heard of Citicorp much less have an account with them.  to which his reply was "you haven't heard of Citibank we're like the largest credit company blah blah blah" and I said excuse me you don't have to be a smartass with me I'm just trying to get the calls to stop.  but he hung up at smartass.  

Note, if this IS a legitimate collections agency they have the wrong person because I have my credit checked quarterly and have NEVER had any derogatory items much less had anything go to collections.  this is [***] people....

Ok, I'm embarrassed!  I called Citibank (the actual number on my card) to inform them of this "scam" number using their name.  Well, the woman informed me that the number calling me is actually a legitimate collections agency!!  This has NEVER happened to me before!  Turns out I failed to make my last payment (I had written it in my checkbook as paid though so I thought it was pending, I must have forgotten to actually go online and make the payment...DOH).  This payment was only 9 days late when the calls started though so I really  see the need for the non-stop calls at this point.  Not to mention it seems crazy that this day in age they would be asking us to enter sensitive info to an automated caller!  I mean, how easy is it for people to get scammed that way!  Citibank really should handle this differently.

Anyway, I'm embarrassed that I had such attitude with the collections people (when I was able to actually get a live person) but I won't beat myself up too much because I think it's understandable under the circumstances.  Just thought I'd let you know it IS a legitimate call but if I were you, to be safe, call Citibank yourself instead of dealing with the collections just in case you do end up getting a scammer on the other end.

meant to say I DON'T really see the need for non-stop calls at this point....

I'm getting several calls each day (at least 5 per day) from a Citicorp Credit from 1-816-420-1002. I have answered in the past and told them I'm not interested in anything they are selling. I wish they would stop. THis is insane and abusive.

just started getting calls from this number today. They have called 5 timesand keep hanging up. WTF?

Called 6 times in the past 2 days.  Caller ID days CitiCorp Credit, but when I answer it...there is no one on the line.  When I let my machine get it they say nothing.  I wish they would STOP!

I keep receiving calls from this number and they don't leave a message. Receiving call 5-6 times a day and when my machine picks up, a  computerized voice comes on and its in spanish.

Sounds like im not the only one. If it is a bogus call or Citi B the only way i will answer is late night after a couple beers. Im sure I will have something to talk to them about then....

I pay my shat too, on time called at 8 am today. I have call block, so I blocked them. Comes up missouri on name.

REPORT THEM HERE!!!!

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT LEGIT!!! I called citibank and they told me not to give them crap. They dont even have my phone # on the account, It is my old #, Just checked, SO FULL OF CRAP!!!!

called 5 times so far... @ $ $ |-| 0 |_ 3 5

received 7 calls from this number since yesterday morning. It leaves a voicemail but all that is there is two chimes then a click.

I have gotten 5 calls from them in 7 hours.  I even answered once...and they hung up!!   I am very annoyed.  It is my credit card, I have paied my bill....I paied it 2 days ago!!

I got two already today.  It's now noon.  1st came at about 5:40 a.m., 2nd was at 11:36 a.m.  Both were hang ups without leaving a message.
If this call is from a CitiGroup or CitiBank Collections Representatvie, that person should leave a message regarding the intent of the call. A lack of message is unprofessional and deserves to be reported as harassment.

This is the begining of bad public relations for Citi, whether it is them, or not.  I recommend they fix this now with a public apology.  People are taking credit cards accounts elsewere.

Keep calling me claiming they are from citicard.  Told me I was behind on paying my bill.  Bogus.  I asked to be taken off their call list and was told I couldn't be because I was missed a payment.  Went on line and checked and I am current.  I missed nothing.  If calls continue I will be contacting the police.

As logged on my cell phone:

**I'll probably get the next two calls within the same time frame as yesterday.

They just won't stop calling my phone. It's so annoying. I also don't bother to answer their calls especially since I didn't recognize their number the first time. I've paid my bill already and they still keep calling me. If they do it again one more time, I'm gonna do a balance transfer to another card company that has a lower interest rate. So if they wanna make some money off me, they better stop calling me. This is completely bothersome; more like compulsive.
