Army veteran with Palestinian heritage gets credit card offer addressed to 'Palestinian Bomber'

08/24/2005

CORONA, Calif. (AP) -- The address was his, but the name on the credit-card offer took Sami Habbas by surprise: "Palestinian Bomber."

"I thought it was a joke or something," said Habbas, 54, a Palestinian American who served in the U.S. Army.

Habbas opened the letter, and the salutation read "Dear Palestinian Bomber."

When he called the company, JPMorgan Chase & Co., provided his ZIP code and invitation number, two operators said to him: "Yes, Mr. Bomber, what can we do for you?"

Some employees have a sick sense of humor. I'm trying not to smirk.

Actually, it is most likely someone who filled up some offer online and put in Palestinian Bomber as first and last name.
I used to fill up those "Win a free one week gym membership" cards with funky names and put in my father's phone number to mess with him, lol

I know a guy who got "MORON" printed as his last name on his drivers license..

edit- actually i thought about it , and it could have been one of his army buddies pulling a prank..
