How to know if mailing is legit?

[JohnnyWalker]

I am so afraid to respond to anything in the mail these days. How do I know if something is legit?

I have a mailing that I received. Looks all correct. It says it's from Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, 213 executive park asheville, NC 28801

It's for for debt settlement and or credit card relief? Form 009-S

Says the phone number is 1-800-481-5922


Can someone verify or tell me how to verify? I tried calling the local govement, but it said I had a hold time of 3 + hours

[commanding]

sounds like BS to me. the govt ain't gonna send you a letter saying you have to contact them in carolina to get some sweet money. (for what?) B.S.

My grandma ask me to check some of her mail like contest and advertisements. So, I Google name, the phone number, and the address of the company to see if it's real or not. Also check anti-fraud and scam sites or the BBB site which also helps.

thank you shadow. Are there anti-fraud sites that I should avoid, my sis once went to one of those and it told her that the phone number that kept appearing on her caller id was legit, she got scammed 5000 bucks. Luckily her CC company caught it.,

Everyone has offered good insight, including PMing Macs for more info. http://www.usdebtrelief.org/ is a scam to prey on those who don't know better. Sell plasma if you need money now, otherwise shred this garbage.

It's gotta be a scam. Send it to your State Attorney General's Office.

you rock. I bookmarked all those sites. Sending the letter to the CIA or state attorney

Reverse address search came up with

Mel Garrett
Sunbelt Business Brokers Network, Chief Executive Officer
Phone number (828) 252-8200

Sunbelt Business Brokers Network is a private company categorized under Brokers' Services and located in Asheville, NC. Current estimates show this company has an annual revenue of $290,000 and employs a staff of approximately 4.

Probably just advertising their services.
I'd say give him a call and ask some questions.

I miss Ed McMahon. Life was simpler then and mail wasn't scary.

It's worse when you see that kind of stuff in your e-mails. Sometimes it's kinda funny especially when they can't spell certain things correctly, then you KNOW it's fake!
