Sneaky Credit Card Offers
This has got to be one of the sleaziest attempts to get you to open a credit card offer I have ever heard.
Don't be surprised if you receive a windowed envelope that looks like a IRS document with the year in bold in the corner, enticing you to open it up.
Then inside is a plastic card with my your on it with a VISA looking set of numbers and a sticker on the card that says "Protect against unauthorized use, activate your platinum account today. 1800-839-6176" in yellow. The card does not have a magnetic strip on the back.

My favorite credit card offers were the ones that looked like a birthday card. The envelope was that bright orange-yellow color with what looked like your name and address handwritten on it.
