July 24

2500 block of Janet Lee Drive in La Crescenta, a resident reported that he had received a phone call from someone claiming to be a representative of his bank, Citibank. The caller knew all the resident’s personal information and asked him about a recent transaction. He told the caller he did not recognize the transaction; the caller told the resident it appeared he was a victim of fraud. The caller asked for a verification number that was sent to his phone; the resident replied and the caller immediately hung up. The resident immediately tried to call Citibank but was only able to receive automated responses. He discovered that three wire transfers had been made out of his bank account without his permission. When the resident was able to reach a human representative at the bank they were able to stop some of the funds transferred but not all. The resident changed his passwords and froze his credit; however, since March when this issue began he has been attempting to get the rest of the fraudulent funds that had allegedly been taken by the caller. In June, Citibank sent the resident a letter stating they would be unable to return the funds.

He reported the incident at 10 a.m.
