DH got a call today from a Saudi number, with a guy on the phone claiming to be from Citibank collections department. He said DH had an outstanding balance with the bank and had to pay up immediately. We did indeed have a card with Citibank at one stage, but cleared it and closed the account in 2009.
The guy called him on his work number and knew who he worked for, where in Dubai and what position he holds. He said he'd come to his office to get him to pay up. When DH told him he was barking up the wrong tree and hung up, the guy called back repeatedly, became abusive and even called him a 'motherf*****' at one point in the conversation!
DH called the bank and they have no knowledge of who the caller could have been, so they're 'investigating'.
So, if you have or had a credit card with Citibank and owe them money, don't send any to an obnoxious guy calling from a Saudi number :D.
