I knew right off that this was fake because I don't have a CitiBank card. However, for some people that do, it might look like something real (although, for most people the return address and the typographical errors would be enough to raise a flag). So if you get something like this, please don't respond to it. Yes, I know, I'm sure everyone here is internet savvy enough to spot a fake like this but I just wanted to make sure. If anyone else gets similar fakes, please post them so we know what to look out for!
