Yes. I also do belive that it is scandulist! My husband gets e-mails from the gov, He has cancer and paraz, from the waist down! saying that his stimulist rebate is deposited in his bank and is not? So what’s up with that? Goos thing I don’t belive!!! I’m I right!

I’ve gotten a few pieces like that, and they leave me disgusted.

Sometimes I get phone calls along the same lines:
Caller: We are calling on behalf of your credit card company.
Me: Oh – you work with Morganbank Financial?
Caller: Uh… yes!
Me: You know, I just made that name up…
Caller: click

Wow. I’d call it shady. Maybe it’s not exactly a scam, but it certainly isn’t above board. Expect a link or two from my mortgage blogs today…

Scam, scam, scam. Just like all the other “official” mortgage-related junk mail I get. Every. Single. Day.

How can they put “first class” on an envelope when it isn’t? Why would the USPS accept that?

Well you may not be calling it a scam, but lots of other people will!

Isn’t there some agency that checks up on this advertising? This one should sure come under scrutiny.

The sad thing is that many people will fall for this ploy — making The Money Store a whole lot of money. The predatory tactics just keep coming.

Hey, wait — isn’t The Money Store owned by First Union? Maybe it’s time to judge a bank by the company it keeps. . . or owns.
