Scam Alert from Connecticut Dept of Social Services, Aging Services Division.
Press Release - July 3. 2008.
A senior center director in Southern CT contacted the state Dept of Social Services about a green postcard that numerous of its clients have been receiving, marked: "Urgent: Read Immediately. Our office has been trying to contact you. You are guaranteed a $25,000 Grant from the U.S. Government".
There is no return address, just a toll free number: 1-877-303-3788 and an "Official Form Number" When CT Dept of Social Services called the number, a prerecorded message stated (6 times) that we could receive "$25,000 or more in free government grant money guaranteed" from their grant guide for a small "risk free" payment of $59.00; Just dial 1".
Following a quick Google of the number, the Department of Social Services determined that the mailer is ASI Inc. 4149 Pennsylvania Ave, Suite 301, Kansas City, MO 64111. Office: 913-731-2478 - and that ASI is mailing 80,000 post cards DAILY all over the country. Most disturbing is the fact that the message indicates that the name, address and number will be put into their system to facility the mailing - just dial 1. Who knows what will be done with that information! Executive Director of Calendar House, Bob Verderame, advises seniors (and others) to beware and be watchful. Pass this along to a neighbor who might be duped. There is no free lunch!
