I just received my Citibank Credit Card statement and my wife and I were charged $119.95 by a company called Essentials Gold. This was a charge that was never authorized. I use the credit card a lot (gas, office products, software, etc.) so at first I thought maybe this was a charge for something that I couldn't remember or didn't document.

When I called the company 888-405-5356 their first option on the voice mail system was to speak to someone if you have a dispute on your credit card. Then when you select that option they want you to enter your home telephone number (yeah right). So I hung up and immediately searched the internet where I found your site. THANKS!

I called CitiBank direct - they were not surprised and immediately removed the charge from my card. Thanks rip-off report you saved me a lot of time and hassle.

And by the way if anyone else has this problem my advice would be to NOT give your home telephone number to these people - who knows where they may use that information to RIP YOU OFF AGAIN!

CITIBANK AND ESSENTIALS GOLD ARE ONE!

AUTHOR: Bruce - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, May 09, 2005

Essentials gold andCitibankare one andthesame. They are a fraudulent revenue generating system put in place by Citibankto rob customers. I was just like you i failed to read my statements closely enough to catch this rather inoucuous scam that they had run on me for months. $9.95 for 13 months adds up to a lot of fraud. I believe that they get into your credit card statements whenpeople cash those little $5 and $10 checks the banksends you to entice you intoservices like "creditprotecter",etc. and when you cancel the service, they enroll you into this scheme they have running . Another oneof their scams is called Questsavers, same bullshit, different name. My wife got f**ked by Citi for a few months until I caught on and called them and threatened to go to the ICC, and the FBI. You know these are inhouse scams, because when I called to dispute it they just said "ok" and reveresed 3 months charges. No papewrwork, no follow-up, and if you've ever had a dispute with any credit card company , you know they always send out requests for information , but this time Shittybank just dropped the whole matter, now you know d**n well no moneygrubbing f**king bank is ever going to let go of one penny that they think they can get away with, so you must know that they were part and parcel of the fraud. Citibank, Chase/Bankone, MBNA, these c****uckers are all the same; out to f**k everybody, everytime they can get away with it.
