Citi bank sends personalized letters 'offering ' credit cards stating that offeree has been 'pre-selected '. However, when the letter is responded to and the offer is 'accepted ', the bank declines it citing various reasons such as credit status. Consumers are deceived using misleading language such as 'offer ' and 'pre-selected ', such that implying to consumers that the personal situation, such as the credit report, has been evaluated and an offer is made, when all that has not happened. It appears that citi bank buys the names and addresses and makes offers as if the bank has evaluated the persons ' credit worthiness. Consumers please be aware and do not be convinced that citi bank is indicating willingness to extend credit - it 's mere deception.
