Alpha byte - application for phone backup
Today I, as a client of Alfa Bank, received such a letter:
The most delusional idea that comes to my mind is to have access to the phone book of their clients so that they can check future potential clients of the bank (say, those who want to take a loan).
Tinkoff, for example, sends letters to the owners of his cards proposing to attract his good acquaintances to use the services of the bank. Apparently the calculation goes to the fact that if you pay the loan well, then your circle of friends is appropriate. By the way, for attracted "referrals" pay from 300 to 1000 rubles. awards.
We are pleased to invite you to take part in the testing program of the new service on the Russian banking market, represented by Alfa-Bank OJSC and Mobile Date.
