Citibank Never Asks Customers for Sensitive Personal Information by e-mail

If you receive suspicious e-mail messages, never click on any included links. Even if you do not provide what they ask for, simply clicking on the link could subject you to background installations of spyware or viruses.

If you think you may have already provided your user ID and passwords to someone suspicious, immediately call CitiPhone Banking.

Citibank may send you e-mail messages containing links to our website, but we never asks customers for personal information by e-mails.
