In case no one has seen it, I have an account and got this today: "At Synchrony we take customer satisfaction very seriously. We are writing to inform you one or more emails or text messages you may have received from Synchrony regarding “a trial deposit has been successfully made” or “action required on your application” on Monday, November 25 was sent in error. This was an internal error at Synchrony and did not involve a data breach or fraudulent activity. We have confirmed none of your personal data was compromised. We apologize for the error and regret any concerns this may have caused. We are taking action to ensure this cannot happen again. Please disregard the e-mail or text message and no further action is required. We sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding." --Bryan -- Bryan Blackwell -- Unix Systems Engineer [email protected]
