Looks like I am also a VICTIM of this underhanded effort by CITIBank. I have Experian TripleAdvantage which warned me on 10/15 that new accounts had been reported by Transunion and Equifax. They were under two similar names and appear to be the same account. My Experian report also shows a new CITI credit card account opened 9/1/07.
I do have an old Macy's account which I haven't used for several years. But I never applied for any card from CITIBank and see this as a serious issue that SHOULD be illegal. I will be contacting the Washington State Attorney General and filing a complaint. I will also cancel the card as soon as it arrives. I have to wait since I have no card number to reference yet.
