Citibank send me periodic reminders to switch to an electronic-only
statement so that I am "better protected against identity theft".

John Cleese saying "explain the logic underlying this conclusion" in
the cheese shop sketch comes to mind...

The return address for the email message, although appearing to be
from citibank.com, is linked to a black hole or some other information
sink.
