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.
You know maybe I’m not looking at it in the right way but If I know I didn’t request it or know I didn’t contact them , I don’t do anything, their notice goes into file 13. I’ve never ever had any issues. If it a bill or anything you owe or something you bought you would know. It’s a scammers World now. If you disregard the letter they’ll usually leave you alone. Don’t know why people get so worked up about these advertisements or things they know they didn’t request!
