There must be some kind of mistake here. I don't have a Citibank "Debbit" card and I'm inclined to not deal with a bank that sends out illiterate correspondence.

Also, the above link resolves to somewhere in Russia.

I think you have to have a serious look at your Internet strategy, Citibank.

This looks more like an attempt to fraudulently get people to enter card no's & PIN's -- they (industry people) call it "phishing." This year's internet scam.

Yeah, I had it pegged as one of those.

I was just astonished at how feeble an effort it was. At least they could've copied Citibank's logo or something into it.

But, all they need is that one person in a million to respond, and they'll get their money.

And I'm not going to send any more to them, no matter how nice they ask.
