ACT

ACT promise of refund of several thousand dollars on your mortgage Sandy, Utah

5th of Jun, 2011 by User616371

Hello, today is June 6, 2011 and I received a letter that I believe might be from the same company / individual. The letter states:
(My name)
This notice is to inform you that you may be owed several thousand dollars on your mortgage that funded on (date) in the amount of (amount).
Based on city and county records your loan as well as many others may have been overcharged or miscalculated several thousand dollars.
While refunds vary, amounts owed can range from as high as $1, 500 to over $7, 800.00.
A consumer analysis is available to those that receive this notice. This analysis is provided to determine eligibility and interest reduction options with no refinancing required.
Call now toll free at 1-877-778-4727 for further information. As part of this ortgage auditing and refund service, please reference eligibility: T### (number) when calling. First of all, what caught my attention, was the fact that there was only a company name in the head of the letter, no address, no names to contact. The envelope had only PO Box 788, Sandy UT 84091-0788 return address.
Second, in scams, people create a sense of urgency - something like: call now, listing expires etc., and so does my letter : Listing expiration 06-17-2011.
I am going to call tomorrow and see if they want the $149 fee and I will post an update here.
I am glad that people share their experiences like that - it's a true warning and a great way of protecting ourselves against unscrupulous scammers. Thank you, Pace Florida!
Regards from Plano, TX

How interesting! It really sounds legitimate. Luckily I had read this a couple weeks ago, so when I got one last week, I knew what it was and I was able to do some digging. Isn't it crazy, though, the things they are able to find out about us to make it appear more real? Mine even referenced when I refinanced our mortgage to help pay for the <a href="http://valentineroof.com">metal roof</a> we had installed! Despite that, when we talked to our bank and dug into it a little bit more, they confirmed that the letter was a scam.
