related issue

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1635168&hl

alwiz receive call from them Unknown Citibank numbers. but today, they suddenly ask me to confirm i am James Loong and ask me to give them my Date of Birth. (which i didnt). Is this normal?

u got apply for anything or not

nvr give out ur DOB....

Unless u can very sure, they are really calling from citibank, if unknow phone no, better dun give

did not apply anything or did any huge trans on my card recently.

will get the one or two months call regarding credit transfer and personal loan. but those they dont ask you to confirm yourself. thats why i feel weird when this one ask me for that..

then just ignore

Calls from the bank are normal. Normally for promotions, verifications and etc. If they ever ask your personal details, do not panic - ask why and for which particular transaction are they checking up on. (You should know your own transaction coz if not then please stop using your card because obviously you don't know how to use it safely) And ask them to identify themselves - 80% of the time the screening will end here, telemarketers will mumble the word and genuine calls from the bank will speak clearly to identify themselves.

They should be able to answer this (transaction) because that is the main reason they are calling you anyway. (95% of the time) In other cases, should you request to change anything on your cc account, a verification will be requested as well.

TS, please be careful on how you set your topic as there are noobs readers here and will think all calls from Citibank/All banks are like that. I have amended it because the one you have set is misleading.

Such calls can even come from a 'displayed' number. The rule here is to filter these calls via the pattern they exhibit and NOT via whether or not they are 'Unknown' calls.
