I received a credit card offer in my mail yesterday. The offer is quite good. The company is charging very low interest rate on the card. The offer is valid for only 2 days. They have also mentioned the website where I have to create my account. I just need to give my bank details and Social Security Number to open the account. I told my father about this. But he is skeptical. He is saying that the offer is too good to be true. Now, I am confused. Who receives such good offers everyday? But my father also has a point. What should I do? Should I accept the offer? Is it case of scam or identity theft? Please advice.

Welcome to the forums!
The offer is definitely good. But I don't think it will be a good idea to enter all the bank details and the Social security numbers without gathering information about the company. You can become a victim of identity theft if you are not careful. The scammers can steal your information to make money out of you without your knowledge.
