Website Spoofing
Guarding yourself against website spoofing
Website spoofing is a technique used to gain unauthorized access to information in which an attacker communicates with a legitimate user under a false pretence.

For instance an attacker may pose as your bank to gain confidential information from you by making you believe that he is from your bank.

Do guard yourself against these spoofing techniques and be alert when asked for confidential and sensitive information regarding yourself.
Be wary of:
Any online forms that are attached to an email which entices you to provide sensitive data such as your PIN and Citicard Identification Number on the form and to “Submit” or “Send” the form.
Any email which asks you to visit a Citibank website to provide information such as your PIN and Citicard Identification Number. You should verify that it is a Citibank website before you log in. To verify that the website is a Citibank website, click on “Lock icon” in your browser. Upon clicking, a digital certificate will appear which states “Issued to ipbUSA.citibank.com”.
Fraudulent merchant sites which obtain credit card particulars. You should know who you are doing business with on the internet, and be wary about giving your credit / debit card particulars to dubious or suspicious sites.
Citibank will never ask you to provide any confidential information especially your PIN or CitiCard number via regular emails. If you suspect that an email or website that asks you for confidential information is fraudulent, please notify us by calling CitiPhone Banking at +65 6338 1221 immediately.
