    I received this obvious scam letter trying to collect personal information. It had no identifying information nor ways to contact them. This is a MAJOR red flag. I have read prior generic responses which sound more like scammers protecting themselves by being overly broad and say absolutely nothing.

    I received a letter from Distribution Processing Center P.O. *******************************. The letter was stamped second notice, I did not receive a first notice. Form inside asks for Name, age, spouses name, address phone number. Says I have access to new State Regulated programs. Does not explain Who they are, or what programs they are speaking of. Seems like a Scam to Me to get my personal information, which I will Not be giving out! Had No account number or contact phone number or address other than P.O. box! This should be looked into, and others Warned to Ignore, or Throw Away so they Don't Get their Identity Stolen!! Too many Con Artists around anymore!

    Business Response

    Dear Mr. *************** have received your concerns via the Better Business Bureau.  Thank you for expressing them.

    Distribution Processing Center provides mail services on behalf of commercial entities that market legitimate products and services to the general public.  We mail for many insurance companies and agents.  Our mailers are required to be generic and not reference any specific plan information because we are not sure at the time of mailing which company/agent will receive the returned lead.  So, by law we are required to be generic in our messaging.  Also, since we are not the licensed insurance agent we cannot talk about specific plans.  We mail generically and then forward leads to agents who are interested in buying leads in the geographic areas in which leads have come in.  That is also why there is no insurance company/agent listed on the mailer as it may not go to that company/agent.  When we are talking about new benefits, we are referring to the many new plans that come out each and every year.  For example, there recently has been a new plan that will cover up to $ ********* in funeral expenses.  This plan was not around in previous years.  Again, since we cannot be specific to a plan we have to speak in general terms.

    It is not our desire to send mail to anyone who wishes not to receive it so first and foremost let me apologize for any concerns our mailings have caused you.

    I hope that we have addressed your concerns.  We have opt-ed you out of our future mailings.  If you wish to opt out of mail similar to this, it is best to use a national DNM registry such as DMAChoice (*************)

    I do not want to receive mail from this company I don't feel comfortable with this and I feel like I could be a victim of fraud. This company sent me mail and asked for my information that they already have they have my name and address but the card they sent me asked for my name and address why ask me to fill out a card with my name and address knowing they just sent me mail that means they already have my name and address this is not the way to do business.

    Dear Ms. **************** have responded to your complaint and are disappointed that it does not meet your satisfaction.

    Weve also provided instructions for adding you to our Do Not Mail list, as well as other National databases you can utilize to reduce mail from other vendors, too.

    Our clients are not in the practice of mailing to customers who do not want to receive their mailers, as it costs them money.  Once a customer requests to be added to OUR Do Not Mail List or optout online, this is done in a timely manner.   As you have not provided any information, we are unable to opt you out from our listings and suggest you do so by visiting *****************.

    I receive a rediculous amount of shifty credit card offers in the mail which go straight into the trash. I noticed a ton of promotional inquiries on my credit report and searched how to get rid of so many promotional offers and it pulled up this website. Well, apparently not only does this website unauthorized pull your credit and unauthorized share it with these shifty companies, they want you to pay $5 to be removed from their mailing list! It all seems very fraudulent. On top of this complaint I will also be informing the *** and other entities.

    This business is mailing out letters intended to appear as though they come from the state of *******. They claim in other comments that they are innocently sending out requests on behalf of private businesses, but this fact is not overt and the notices are very clearly meant to seem "official" in some way. With a title such as "2024 Benefit Information For Alabama Residents", to verbiage such as "As a resident of *******, you are entitled to...state-regulated life insurance programs", to high-pressure sales tactics such as expecting a response 9 days after receipt of the letters, these are all clearly intended to dupe individuals who do not know any better into sending their information to what they believe is a government program.The business will naturally respond that technically, they did not claim to be representatives of the state. There are federal regulations from the *** that require a business be very clear about such things, and it is not acceptable to simply try and coast by on a technicality. I wonder how many unknowing citizens fall victim to this every day.
