Imagine receiving a call that claims to be from Citi Bank’s fraud department and asks for your Social Security number. The safest move is to hang up immediately and never share personal info over the phone unless you initiated the call. Verify the request by calling the number on the back of your card or logging into your account through the official website—those are the official channels you can trust. Report the number to the FTC and your bank’s fraud team, and consider placing a fraud alert with the credit bureaus. Finally, use your phone’s block feature or a call‑filtering app to keep similar calls out of your inbox.

A call from this number claimed to be from Citibank's fraud department, stating that a Home Depot card was opened in my name. When I called back, they requested my card number or SSN, which I refused to provide. The call seemed suspicious, and I believe it's a scam.
