Explanation:

This scam email pretends to be from the large financial institution, Citibank. Like other phisher scams, the email tries to trick recipients into visiting a website and entering personal details. The website is disguised to look like a part of the real Citbank website.

Several versions of the Citibank email scam exist, infact such scams can exist for any back such as GTBANK or STERLING BANK Etc.

The one above claims that Citibank customers need to verify their email address by supplying bank card numbers and pins. Of course, these emails DO NOT originate from Citibank and any information supplied by hapless victims goes directly to the scammers.

Citibank has information on its website about this and earlier scams.

Another version of the scam is reproduced below:
