Exclamation

(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?
Just wanted to let everyone know I was off base here. This was a legitimate offer!
