Internet Scam Uses Citibank Brand
An Internet scam to obtain personal information from consumers has been operating under the guise of Citigroup Inc. corporation. Thieves have been sending out emails designed to look like official Citibank communication, replete with corporate logo, and direct customers to a site where they are asked to update their personal data, including social security number. Citigroup said it is working with law enforcement officials to investigate the fraudulent e-mails, adding that it doesn't ask customers to provide sensitive information in this way.
