I received a Fax and a letter addressed to me personally, and I am not with a bank. I posted a message asking if others were receiving them, as I thought these folks may be taking our names from this forum. No one else thought this was happening. This is the only place I have my name, company and address listed.
My past banking experience is the letters were addressed to institutions and not individuals. The letter I received even had an e-mail address to respond to.
The first one of these I ever received was in 1968 at bank here in California. So, the scam has been around a long time.
Local FBI here in San Diego say we are being inundated with these letters and had no interest in looking at another one.
