General purpose card Advertising, marketing or disclosures New York

I recently received a Brinks Money Debit MasterCard ( dba Skylight Financial Inc in -, T- ) which I most certainly did not request. I check my credit score/inquiries regularly, and I 'm confident this is n't real or a result of a scam. I think it 's just a very well-divised, thorough marketing scheme. But it 's really quite alarming. The card had my correct name, a card number, master card logo, an expiration date and CVC 3-digit number on back. The letter attached had an account number, a routing number, was sent to my home address. I received a terms of agreement pamphlet, and skylight/us bank checks. Now I 'm having to go through the trouble of making sure that a. ) this has n't been identity theft ; b. ) none of this gets activated ; c. ) all the materials are thoroughly destroyed to ensure no future identity theft, etc. It 's just a -, and if I were elderly or perhaps less tech-savvy, this would have caused a great deal of concern. This seems like really poor business practice. To essentially sign me up, put my name on something that I never requested.
