Sears Takes Customer Account Security 80% Seriously
Dear MATTHEW F:Oh Sears. Well, according to Matthew F, at least the account number was his.
On Wednesday, April 9th you received an email with the subject line "Get $25 From Citibank". We recently discovered that the email we sent to you incorrectly contained the salutation "Dear Donna Robinson" rather than "Dear MATTHEW F". We apologize for the confusion this may have caused and want to assure you that the email is a legitimate Sears card email.
(Thanks to Matt and Alberto!)

At least that got one person right instead of everybody. I wonder if Donna got an email like this:

@midwestkel: I got one TOO, same name.
HAHA too funny
I never use the card but they keep harassing me. I should cancel it one day.
@midwestkel: Oddly, I know a Donna Robinson, and she may well have a Sears card. I must ask her about this :D








I got that this morning. I was confused when:
1. Hotmail flagged it as junk, but not a phishing scam.
2. The links were legitimate.
3. They had the correct last 4 digits of the account, but the name was "Donna Robinson".
I flagged it as Phishing and moved on.
