It was after hours but I sent in a complaint both to the state attorney's office as well as Senior Against Crime. Have any of you folks also received such a letter? I'm just trying to cross my "t's" and dot my "i's" on this issue.

******I just wanted to report it....so I did e-mail Seniors Against Crime as well as sent one to the state. The offices there (either place) aren't open yet. No, we don't have grandkids or children who have lived with us. I suspect this is a scam so wouldn't contact that number. I get weary of ALL the scammers out there. Didn't seem to hit us til we moved to Florida. BUT in reading social media posts from where we used to live---bad things there have ramped up too. I suppose because we're a "senior community" they feel we're fair game.
Well, you just lost about 30 min of your life on nonsense. Obviously, a scam. There is a million red flags there. Throw it away. No one is going to investigate one complaint on one scam out of 9 million out there and theres no victim so therefore no crime. No one was scammed money, no one was anything. You got junk mail. Thats it. Scams have been occurring since the 1900s if not earlier.
