CitiFinancial Warns of Fraud Ads Impersonating Bank
CitiFinancial warns Hatters and North American readers about scam advertisements using CitiFinancial’s name. Ads promise loans with low rates but ask victims to send money via Western Union, then vanish after receiving amounts from 800 to 10 000 dollars. Canadian toll free numbers 647 416 or 613 appear in the fake notices. CitiFinancial neither places such ads nor uses Western Union for business. The U S bank cooperates with law enforcement to stop the fraud.
