Fake Citibank Alert Notification Form Email Attachment

Although the email message appeared as if it came from Citibank bank's email address: alerts@ citibank.com, it was not. This email address was spoofed, meaning it was not sent from alerts@ citibank.com, but from some other email account.

If you have already entered your user name, password and personal information on this fake form, please try changing your Citibank password and contact Citibank.

Always go to directly www.citibank.com to sign into your Citibank account, instead of clicking on a link.
