Californian Upset By Credit Card Offer Sent To 'Palestinian Bomber'
Ex-Soldier Lived In United States Since He Was Three

POSTED: 11:51 am PDT August 24, 2005

CORONA, Calif. -- A Palestinian-American man in California was sifting through his stack of mail, when he noticed a credit-card offer addressed to "Palestinian Bomber."

Sami Habbas of Corona then opened the letter, which began: "Dear Palestinian Bomber."

So, he called the company that sent the letter, J.P. Morgan Chase. He provided the invitation number from the letter, and two operators then addressed him the same way, asking, "Yes, Mr. Bomber, what can we do for you?"

Habbas, who is 54, has lived in the United States since he was 3 years old. He served in the U.S. Army. He said he was shocked by the letter.

2. Obviously someone is playing a nasty joke on him....

Someone that knows him prolly signed up for an application online, using that "name". Now he'll probably get junk mail FOREVER with that name on it, the way companies share their mailing lists...
