Citizens Financial Group, Inc. Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management New York

All of sudden, I received an ATM card from Citizens Bank on - -, 2016 and then another letter following day that welcomes me for opening an account with them ( which I HAVE NEVER DONE ) and asking for my signature. So I called the - - - ( found on letter ). I told the Citizens Bank customer service how I have never opened an account with them and requested closing the account immediately but I was told I need to provide my social security number or somehow go to their branch somewhere in - to get any help. Either that, just cut the ATM card. How that solves any problem knowing that an account is opened under my name without my knowledge and permission? I believe my 2 phone conversations with them is recorded. Prior to this, I have never even heard of Citizens Bank. I read online this is a very common phishing practice to acquire new customers. It 's very disturbing and worrisome. Please help.
