I got a mail item today in a plain white envelope
that had "Important Information Enclosed" printed on it. In the return
address window I saw that it was from "Credit Card Center."
I didn't recognzied the address so I naturally thought it was junk
mail. I opened it for the hell of it and saw it was one of those
privacy notices creditors send you every year or so to find out whether
you want to be taken off the address lists that they sell to "Related
Third Parties."
It asks whether you'd like to:
1. Limit the personal information about me that you disclose to nonaffiliated third parties. 2. Limit the personal information about me that you share with Citigroup affiliates. 3. Remove my name from your personal mailing lists used for promotional offers. 4. Remove my name from you relemarketing lists used for promotional offers.
You select which choices you want and then provide them with your full account number.
Uh huh. Well, frankly, they shouldn't be selling my shit to start with.
Second, they haven't had a valid phone number for me in about three
years, so ain't no body calling me.
All the same, I'll spend $0.37 of my own cents to return this to that
the floodgate of Mom & Pop company catalogues don't start up.
Interesting how they make it look like something you don't need to bother to read, though.
