Email containing a bogus invoice for services provided.

- York, PA, USA

I received a “FINAL NOTICE” on pink paper with no business name or address; only a phone number with a contact person named Vicky Mercer and a warning that my coverage was about to be revoked. When I called, I spoke to a very testy young man named Matthew (only Matthew. No last name. He’s like Cher or Madonna, apparently). When I asked to speak to Vicky Mercer, I was told that wasn’t possible. When I explained my concern about the alarming presentation and language in this letter that might cause undue panic in someone without a high level of education or English proficiency, causing them to spend money they might not have on an unnecessary product, Matthew became irate, yelling at me and even cursing at me. It was unbelievably unprofessional.

Received letter stating: 'Official business, penalty for private use $300, form 9550-warr', 'final notice', 'contact us immediately', 'secured by : HSBS MORTGAGE CORP'. Manufactured urgency regarding policy offer expiring soon and the need to contact them immediately with provided Owner ID number. Mentioned they have been trying to contact me and unable to and the letter is their 'final attempt' before closing the file on said property.
