A user reported that Gemini provided a fraudulent phone number posing as Citi Bank's official support line during a credit card inquiry. When challenged, the AI initially argued the number was legitimate before backing down. In a fresh chat, Gemini had no recollection of the number. The provided number closely mimics the real one and links to suspicious search results. The user warned against calling numbers suggested by AI without verification.
