Return of Clear - Possible scam?

if you go to flyclear.com you can see they are trying to get back in business. If you were a clear flyer, your information is now owned by another company. I received an email today at 2pm eastern saying I had to opt out by today in order to have them remove my data from their records. It went into my junk mail folder as the id on the email and the email origin were different.

I caution you that the information Clear gathered is very good stuff for a malicious person to have.

Perhaps read it again?

It's been in the news for several months now.

They screwed up the formatting. In your mail client choose "View body as text" and it will be magically revealed.
