Claimed someone recently opened a Home Depot credit card in my name. I also received a text message alert about this that contained a su****ious link to crs.registermycc dot com. Checked the Home Depot website and there was no such credit card. Presumably a phishing operation. AT&T needs to put a stop to this.

There was a weird buzzing sound in the background. He asked if I recently opened a Citi Diamond Preferred credit card, if I applied from a computer or mobile device and if I applied from home or the vicinity of my home. Then said “Thank you, we’ll be in touch with a decision within a few days” and hung up. I called Citi fraud dept and it was in fact a scammer.

Asked if I recently tried to open an LL Bean account.

minutes after I requested a credit limit increase, I received a call from this number asking me to verify that I had requested a credit limit increase. It would seem that this scammer has access to Citibank online information specifically at least as to requests for credit limit increase.

Asked to verify recent transactions on account

Said they noticed unauthorized activity on Best Buy account-number given doesn’t match number on the back of my card for customer service.

"This message is for ***. This is the Home Depot customer protection department calling to verify I can be on the account. Give me a call you have in the back of the credit card. Our hours of operation are between 8 AM to 12 AM Eastern time. When you call us back, please provide the reference number of 1132 and have your Best Buy account number available...."

They said someone applied for a loan in my wife's name. Provided a security code and a callback number that I believe is a now defunct actual Citi number.

Left an unclear fuzzy voicemail. Something about my accounts

Left voicemail claiming to be with Citi bank, left a reference number to use when calling back. Lots of stammering over her script, long pause made by the caller to read off a name I've never even heard before that she's supposedly calling to speak to. Just another scammer...

They rang my phone 3 times in a row in 3 minutes in the middle of the afternoon and didn't leave a message. NO legit company does that. Block them! It made me wonder if there was an emergency with my family--(but if there was, they would have been a message left). Never pick up! Just block them!

I'm a banker with Citibank your CD has come to expire and I'm calling for any****istance you may need. I called the bank and was informed there's no récord of that phone call or call customers. They send notices.

Heard lots of static - Tried to pronounce my name and calling from Citibank

Said Citibank
