really??? why would someone I don't know send me $217 bucks? why does it have to be an ATM card and not a credit card? you put in your information and see if you get 217 bucks. I'm not sending mine.


btw...i don't even have an atm. never even used one before.

No way is that legit!!!

The bank will NEVER EVER ask you to put your ATM Pin Number online! Also the reason they are asking for the extra three digits on the back of your card is simple. That is a security feature on your card to prevent someone from stealing your card number and using it.

This sounds like a scam. I would hit CitiBank's website and report this!

Hell this is bogus. I just reread your original post. Asking for the expiration date is just setting you up for someone else's shopping spree. They are trolling for idiots!!

I just called citibank. The operator said this was about his 30th call in the last hour. It is absolutely a fraud using c2it headings and logos.

Like I said. FRAUD!!!!:D

? for you Casing Bill.

Did they send you a link or tell you to use their site?

I just checked out C2it.com. It is legit, but when you register, it asks you for very little info, definitely not what you posted. You need to report this email as someone has made a twist on the EBay/BestBuy/Paypal scam!They are sending you most likely to a dummy site to steal your info!!

No link or site information. The information requested at the bottom was one of those fill in the box forms with a submit button on the bottom. The senders email address was also bogus.

C2it is a legit company. Its the new paypal. They are using their heading and logo in these emails.

Basically anything you get in your e-mail asking for passwords, credit card numbers, SS numbers or anything similar is probably a scam. I don't think any reputable company would ask for somthing like that. Fill in the form with obsenitys, even in the credit card box # I bet if you write fork, it will submit just fine.
