Scott Greene called 12/03/06 staing I owed Citbank $5759.48 said if I paid today it would only be $1800. and I could avoid any action taken on my credit rating by giving him my checking acct number and bank routing number. He was very slick and pushy. He had no other info. He did email me a copy of letter he was mailing me. I also spoke to his supervisor Dustin Silva. He also pushed me for payment. I told him I never had and account with Citibank. He had ny SSN and previous addresses and said someone in the family could have used my SSN to open account. Also he didn't know my middle initial and I always use it. Said I used my wife as a reference.

I called CitiBank and they verified that I never had an account with them by my SSN. I called ASA back and they said CitiBank sold them the account and there wouldnit be a record of it. I called CitiBank back and spoke with someone different she also verified I never had an account and theat they did not sell accounts to collection agencies and suggested I get a credit report.

I got a credit report and it also showed no account ever existing for CitiBank in my name. Scott Greene left a mesage at 4:40 pm stating they closed at 5:00 and would take action if I didn't call back before then. This is one of the biggest scams I have heard of.
