    Default For reals KROGER FAMILY OF STORES?

    is this for reals? or an april fools?

    I got this email today:

    "Kroger wants you to know that the data base with our customers' names and email addresses has been breached by someone outside of the company. This data base contains the names and email addresses of customers who voluntarily provided their names and email addresses to Kroger. We want to assure you that the only information that was obtained was your name and email address. As a result, it is possible you may receive some spam email messages. We apologize for any inconvenience.

    Kroger wants to remind you not to open emails from senders you do not know. Also, Kroger would never ask you to email personal information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers. If you receive such a request, it did not come from Kroger and should be deleted.

    If you have concerns, you are welcome to call Kroger’s customer service center at 1-800-Krogers (1-800-576-4377).

    Sincerely,

    The Kroger Family of Stores"

    I bet it is for real. If it is an April Fool's joke, it is not very funny.

    I got it too......I am wondering how many more companies will have issues like this. What happened to Internet Security? Hopefully that is all that was compromised was name and e-mail address.

    I got this too, but did you notice to whom it was addressed? Mine had a Dear so-and-so that is NOT my name, and I've never heard of the person! So, I'm wondering if when "compromised", we will also find out all of our information has been scrambled with others in their database...? They clearly had my correct email address, but not my correct name! The fun never stops.
