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.
That is where DCF mail comes out of. Did you APPLY FOR SNAP/EBT, TANF or cash assistance?

You can call they can be difficult to reach you may have to leave a message for call back.

If this is the address and the phone on that letterhead is 866-762-2237

Than it's legit.
