1. I do not own a car.
2. I have NEVER owned a 2014 Ford of mystery model.
3. The ”deadline” to respond was May 1. I received it last week.
4. There is NO business name or address anywhere on this “important” letter.
The last time I owned a Ford was the 1995 Mustang I bought in 1996. Well, correction. I traded that in for a 1995 Taurus two years later. I owned that until 2007. I haven’t had any car since either late 2010 or 2011 after moving to this house. So, DONT FREAK OUT IF YOU GET A LETTER LIKE THIS! IT’S PURE PHISH BAIT.

@rakski I just don't see how, though, without a company name, the wrong vehicle info and the rest, why would you think it was legit?? Seriously, are there other people who haven't had cars for over a decade who think they need to tell these people they got the wrong person? That only opens you up for a lifetime of increased spam calls and mail.

Scammers can get sloppy. That's all it is.

Because there are so many clueless people in the world who literally have no common sense. Many school systems in the south won’t allow critical thinking to be taught. They’re afraid of independent thought because thinkers ask questions.

It’s always good to stay alert and not let these fake threats freak you out.
