A year or two ago I had a similar experience. Someone tried to use one of my old Citibank credit card numbers. I had a call from an 800 number which I did not answer not knowing the caller . Turns out it was their fraud department. I did not trust that is wasn't a scam so I called the 800 number on my card. They connected me with the fraud department. It was real. The problem is when the call or email comes in the fraud department's number is given, a number which one may not be able to identify.
