Question Scam! AA Advantage *AmEx* car solicitation

Just wondering if anyone else has rec'd this solicitation ... my husband just got a snail mail *application* for a Citibank AA Advantage American Express card. Looks to me like this mailing is almost certainly a scam designed to get hold of an applicant's SS#, particularly since to my knowledge, Citibank does not offer an AA Advantage AmEx card! (Or else I'd have one.)

The scammers are skilled enough that their *application* form even includes an AA Advantage number though to our knowledge, not one my husband's ever had! BTW--the web page address for submitting an application for the so-called AmEx card is something called www.applynow.citicards.com, which if you go there ... is nowhere!

Has anyone else been approached with this scam or a something similar?
