I need help!
So i keep getting letters in the mail about a structured settlement that i do not have. The letters say call us to settle it basically, and that the information they have is gathered on public data. however everytime i try to search this i get nothing. nothing on my name, nothing on mistakenly identified structured settlement. I even call and the people say you would know if you have one. then i tried to be sneaky and ask where they collected this from and the only say public records.....


anyone know what this is, or has anyone had this happen before???

how do i stop the letters!! its a new company every day.

The FBI deals with mail fraud. They can check it out for you.

You probably have the same first and last name as someone else who does have a settlement income.

The companies just send out thousands of letters on the remote chance that you might be the one.

By the way, it is the Office of the Postal Inspector that deals with mail fraud.

Have you googled the phone numbers, addresses of the company the letters have come from?

..... QUOTED


Yea but it is mailed to my address....

and gathered from public info... so i find it hard to believe that it is my name that causes this "scam" or whatever it may be

i do have a common name but they are using my middle initial in some of these, which is crazy cus i only use that only my official stuff like school, DL, FOID card, Passport and the like
