Warning: to all citibank credit or debit card holder.....

[shadow]

I just received an email this morning supposedly coming from "citibank" and and on that mail their asking me to click a link to enter my my citibank card number and my pin numbers for verification purposes, allegedly daw a lot of card holders have a hard time checking their account....

yun subject nga pala ng email is "citibank card verification or something" but if you will look closely sa sender email, personal account and not from citibank.com

be warned that this email is a hoax!!!! if you ever receive such an email asking for your card and pin number, just delete it.....

sayang na delete ko kaagad yun email, attached ko sana dito

[pajerokid]

Thanks for the warning shadow! ;)

[alnr]

hmmm... thanks shadow.

me na receive naman ako na call from a citibank employee (not sure). sabi niya me makukuha daw ako na package from them, he did not specify what. so he asked for some details (bday, moms maiden name, address, etc...) he was fluent in english at me accent pa, akala ko nga nung una eh foreigner. anyway, he then asked for the last 3 digits of my card, eh nasa GF ko yung card (iwas gastos muna) kaya hindi ko naibigay. sabi na lang niya eh tatawag na lang siya ulit. scam kaya ito?

[theveed]

pag galing citibank dapat citicorp.com if in doubt just call their service hotline...

[maestro]

if you need more info, just call 995-9999 and talk to a Citibank Officer.

Also, yun email add extension (example: xxx*citicorp.com), madali yun dayain....standard practice: dont give away any details over the phone (unless you initiated the call).

[Karding]

may mga hints naman na hindi talaga galing sa Citi Corp. eh

1. Wrong grammar used (this should at least warn you or give you a hint that this is not real.)
2. Wrong spellings used (daming wrong spelling!)
3. If you right-click the link and choose properties, it's not the correct URL for the company.

[shadow]

tama ka karding, puro wrong spelling yun content ng email niya.....

There's a good chance that its a scam... those last three digits on your card are some sort of security PIN that enable a legitimate merchant to conclude a transaction with your card company over the phone. If it falls into the wrong hands...

My rule of thumb: when someone calls me and claims to be from a credit card company, I don't believe them until they can prove otherwise. I don't disclose any personal data, since all of this data should already be in their database. Of course, its different if I was the one who called the card company; in this case, the burden of proving your identity rests on your shoulders. But for calls initiated by the alleged employee of the card company, my "scam detector" immediately shifts into high gear.

Besides, if the card company had a package for me, there's no need for them to verify anything with me --they can automatically send the package to my mailing address. Eh yun ngang mga credit cards mismo, automatic nilang pinapadala pag mag-e-expire na diba?

Has anyone clicked the link? It brought me to this site
http://www.citibank.com/us/index.htm. Clever forgery? :freak:

Usual SOP , never give any info on SSN , bank accounts , credit card account numbers or any information about self . The scam about identity theft and unauthorized financial abuse is not new . Its been around for a long time already and has victimized already a lot of people . Specially sa cyber world , this is not a joke kaya be careful .

Wag na wag mo ibibigay CVV# mo, this is the last 3 digits behind your card. No one wants to know it except for a carder.

Once i also had anonymous caller who called me up in the house and told me that i have won something..to claim it he said i should come to their company and bring my credit card.

i promptly disagreed and asked him if i can bring other ID's such as driver's license, SSS card, Company ID, etc. etc. he said that those ID's can be easily faked. (Is a credit card that hard to fake?)

[sequoia]

alnr,
wala kang caller ID? mate-trace mo sana kung totoo nga nga na sa bank siya calling from or baba muna niya phone para ikaw tumawag. dami manloloko talaga.

[rukawa]

ako may na receive na call sabi nya citibank phone banker sya asking if I want to apply my card para sa phone banking, mukang totoo naman pero nag duda ako bakit tinatanong nya yung account number ko or yung card number, well nagtaka lang ako dahil if alam nya number ko para tawagan e di alam na rin dapat nya account number ko kse kita naman sa computers nila, pero di ko sure, So i said NO

a good chance? dude, where you been? IT IS, indeed, A SCAM. :hihihi:

sequoia, kahit may caller ID ka kung PRIVATE or UNLISTED ang number, hindi mo makikita kung cno ang tumatawag. Most, if not all, company numbers are UNLISTED and or listed as PRIVATE. Therefore, there is no way of tracking them via your Caller ID.

[pissword]

sir karding ndi ba lumalabas sa caller id pag nakaprivate? kala ko sa yellow pages lang ndi lumalabas hahaha..

anyway ok un link ahh..
