Probably a spoofed number. Synthesized female voice says: "Vicious activity on your Citibank account. Your Citibank card has been charged of $1,498. If you did not authorize this transaction, please press one to connect wage fraud specialist for dispute, please press one for dispute."
800-374-9700 - "Scam Likely"
This number called my cell AGAIN phone at 12:03 pm PDT on 10/05/2021. It's a spoof of Citibank's number because I typically get a live agent for fraud calls. The voicemail (transcribed below) appears to be the same as left on the same call on 09/15/2021.
“If you did not authorize this transaction please press one to connect with 35 specialist for the Butte please press one for dispute…”
if you did not authorise this transaction please press 1 to connect with specialist for the feud
I don't recommend anyone do what I did. But I got the same Citibank call today. (On a Sunday no less) So, I pressed #1. He said what can I do for you. I said you called me, what do you want? He said your Citibank credit card was charged, etc., etc. I said: Sir, I don't have a Citiibank credit card (in fact I have no credit cards). So, I said to him: Take your scam and shove it where the sun does not shine. And while you are it: Get a real job and make your mother proud!!! Again, I don't recommend anyone do this. I am just so sick of scammers.
PHISHING SCAM
Called and said my Citi account was compromised ~ a $1498 charge from indonesia was made. Asked for my name, told me not to log into my account online bc the account was compromised ~ of course I logged in right away and called Citi to confirm there were no suspicious charges. Caller ID was CITIBANK ONLINE. I should have known better than to answer. When I confronted caller saying I think this is a scam, he hung up.
