DON"T FALL FOR IT I GOT SCAMED!!!!!!!!!

866-422-7941

Of all the people for this to happen to I never in a million years thought I would fall for it.

This morning as Kiley was painting (the inside of the house) someone called claiming they were from citibank. They stated that they recieved a payment for a citiflex credit card from my hubby and that it was .30 Cents short and that we incurred a late fee. At that point I should have hung up the phone. Instead I began to argue with them telling the person that we did not have a card with citibank and we traded information back and forth. Meaning they gave me bogus information about the person I thought had opeded a credit card in Brian's name as I acted like a dummy and actually gave them Brian's real info.

866-422-7941

As I look back on the conversation I think to myself that I was a fool! I was unaware as to what I was doing. The person got of the phone with me and probably laughed. OHHH, I am so mad I could spit!

PLEASE DON'T BE AS DUMB AS I WAS!!!!

I called Brian right after it happen and gave him the number, thinking someone had opened a card in his name. He tried to call and it was a nonworking number. He looked the number up on google and you bet it says it is a scam!!! Somehow they put a forward on the number so that if you call it then you really do get citibank, but there is no record of the account.

Here is the number : 866-422-7941

I put the number in here several times so everyone now has the number and does not make the same mistake I just made. PLEASE, PLEASE remember it!

I had to spend all morning and afternoon on the phone with every credit card company as well as Experian, Equifax and transunion in order to put fraud alerts on everything. It was time consuming and very frustrating!

Be safe and don't give personal info to anyone!

Pray for those who got our info that they wont use it!!! Thanks!
