This is the most important thing. Old folks, young kids, they just haven't seen
enough to be up to date on things. I like to say believe half of what you see and
none of what you hear. And it doesn't matter if it sounds to good to be true or
not, I call it all a scam, lol.

Did you hear that through the grapevine?

Citicards notifies via text. First time it happened to me I called the number on my card and they verified they did indeed send a text. I wouldn't ever call the number they text me just to be safe.

Interesting.
I've had Citi for years and never have they texted me. I have received a number of phone calls checking on the legitimacy of transactions and have been impressed with how they have stayed on top of things. But never a text.

You can sign up for it through them. Doesn't cost anything, just another feature they offer. I'm pretty sure you can do it online or call and ask them to notify you via text.

I bet you have to sign up for that feature. My bank does the same thing, but I had to sign up for it.

and anyone who fell for the text scam must be a real idiot.
