End Of The Chase
I recently received an email from my bank, Chase. It was addressed:
"Notice ID: VBMHWBJKSY"
An odd way for a business to address me. Don't they know my name? Why the long space? And I've certainly never heard of this ID.
Anyway, here's the body:
Dear Customer,

Let's assume I'm potentially stupid enough to send these people my information. Let's even assume I believe they need an update from me for them to unlock my account. I think it's the final coherent sentence that would convince me this is nonsense. Why would my account be deleted, rather than just remain suspended? I have money in there, money they owe me. They can't just delete it without a good reason--and if they do, they better send me my money first.
Also, the array of letters at the end may look like fancy computer talk to some people, but it looks like gibberish to me.
