If you web search for ctii client first you will find a page on the actual citi.com about it.

If you have a gas station credit card, it's probably financed by cicibank.

Someone left a message wanting to provide my husband (deceased) with important information.

It is really Citi. It's a reminder for payment

Yes!!  I keep getting calls about 8-10 times a day from this number!  I am so glad that I am not the only one.  Will not answer for sure now!

I received a call from them asking me if I was me and to enter my zip code.  I have a Citibank card so I thought it was them.  Then they said they were a debt collector.  All my stuff is current so I am very suspicious and will try to block them!

I got this phone call looking for a late payment but I have no late payments. Total crap. Don't Answer it!

This web page http://www.hainesandkrieger.com/blog/5-steps- ... ing-debt-scams/ discusses the phone phishing scam from "Citi First", which has nothing to do with Citibank.

They call but never leave a message.

I got a call from this today.  Automated system sounded disrupted and not clear.  Clearly a fraud attempt

It's Citibank collections, and yes, I was a day late with a payment. Not a scam. Keep in mind CB owns many credit cards (for ex, Home Depot).

It is the Citi Client Messaging center.  Citibank manages revolving credit charges for dozens of companies like Citgo, Shell, Sears ... and I believe these yahoos are a related third party collection service for citi.  

Usually you get these calls if you are overdue on one of those, even by a few days.  One time I used them to make my payment on a gas card ... yes I was late.   There was an immense mixup with the payment and it was a huge hassle, caused BY THEM, but I had to do all the work to get it resolved ... get my bank statement and date and reference number of the payment.   So, if you or someone in your household has a card, this is probably a legitimate call ... but make your payment in your normal way ... that's my advice.

Uh, no.  We do not have a Citicard and this number calls CONSTANTLY.  15 times in the last 2 days.

Just ignore them! Its easy.

Got a call from 1-888-472-4945. Asked me to punchi n my zip, which I did.  They state they are attempting to collect an overdue payment of 90$ and a few cents.  I have a citi card but do not have any outstanding balances.  They wanted me to hit "1" to pay my debt via my bank  put in my account information from my bank and  hit number "2" to use my debit card and give them my number which I did neither. I tried to hit "3" or "0" hoping to speak with a operator but I did not get one. The message kept repeating itself and no real representative came on the phone.  I hung up and they keep calling me back. I even got a tect message from them today.
Sounds like one giant SCAM to me.

They won't quit calling!!!  Supposedly you can send them an email at cityclientfirst@citi.com    DON'T DO IT!! Then they will have your phone number and your email address!!!  They are scum!!!!!!

Most annoying 2 calls received already today and its only 1 p.m. Leaves no message and caller ID shows unavailable.  If it is Citi, have never done business and never will.

These [***] F'n Called me, and just like you other guys have experienced, they started asking me for my full account number and my mother's maiden name, and other sh** that we use to log on to our accounts.  They swear they're with Citi Bank.

I told her she was attempting to steal from me, and asked her to remove my name from her list.

This goes to Citi-Client 1st and is the Collections Department for Citigroup who in turn manage varing Credit Card accounts.  They manage and service them for other finance/bank companies.

Regarding 888-472-4945 only: Here's my experience today...
They called and asked me to confirm my name, and I said yes.  He started asking for more info (like my Phone #), to which I got hostile and said: "YOU called ME and now you are asking ME for MY phone #??".  After a few more choice words, in which I told him I've never been late on anything, I hung up on him.  After all, he wouldn't even tell me the last 4 digits of an account number!

Then I looked into all my accounts and called the number on the back of one of my Citi cards.  Turns out I made a charge by phone months ago (an AMEX ticket presale for Depeche Mode) with a card that I keep in my drawer.  I never saw a statement (lost in mail?) and indeed, now I've got a late balance.  (oops!)  But why the heck the guy on the phone couldn't make any connection to establish my account to him is beyond me.  It was like he was with a collection agency, except Citi explained to me that he wasn't. (And I gave it to him really good before I hung up on him!)

My advice: When in doubt, hang up and call the number on the back of your card(s): it is always legit!
(And if you choose to call the guy an [***], like I did, you might feel bad about it afterward when you find out it was a legitimate call.  Not my finest moment...)
