The first tip off that this might be a scam – I’m not a Citibank customer. Apart from that, though, it comes from a computer world without spell check. I’m thinking the major banking institutes know about spell check.

What I can’t figure out is why does the link actually bring you to Citibank? If it’s a scam, it’s kind of conscientious.
