Received a letter that looked important. It says on the return address area "THIS NOTICE IS TIME SENSITIVE: SENT ON 7/14/2025 INFORMATION FOR THE MORTGAGEE ONLY. It also says on the front of the envelope IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE REQUESTED & Lender Info: Wells Fargo Bk Na. It is addressed to me at my home address. Inside it says FINAL NOTICE, and puts the Notice Date: 7/14/2025, Contact Phone: 1-888-801-8190, Record ID: ***********  It urges me to call their number for an urgent matter. And a fake check for $199.00 is enclosed that says below it "Not all consumers have previous coverage. Not affiliated with Wells Faro BK NA. This is not a Check."
