This claims you can get $20,000 tax free burial cash. There is no company name or phone number. Yet they have my name address to continually mail these solicitations none stop. I would advise you to throw it away. Don’t mail it back. I assume they will file a claim on you or something else. Or continue mailing ask for more info and money.

One day, an older guy parked in my driveway and exited his car with a pink piece of paper, knocked on my door, and requested to see my mother (called her by her first name). She hadn't warned me there would be someone arriving at my home for an appointment, nor was she awake to receive him; it immediately made me suspicious. I asked this person to leave information for her. He did not, nor did he identify the company he was representing and acted like he was the one offended. He was told to leave.
I informed her of this occurrence and she made a phone call to the company she thought she responded to; the company denied making the appointment and placed responsibility on the field agent, saying "sometimes they just visit homes on their own".
I thought that was the end of it.
A few days ago, a blue BMW parked on my grass and a younger blonde guy maybe in his late 30's to early 40's, about 5'9", knocked on my door. Again this visit was completely unexpected; he w[censored]ding a pink piece of paper. Again, he wanted to talk to my mother, called her by her first name (disrespectful!). Note: I have a doorbell. This individual opened my storm door to knock on my inside front door- no mask, no gloves. When I told him that they had been contacted by my mother to not just arrive without a scheduled appointment, he stated he was an independent contractor and that it didn't matter, he had (mumble) a 2 year window. I told him that I was not going to get my mother for him, that he could leave the information he had. That is when he smugly and rudely held up the card, saying, "That's your mother's handwriting, isn't it?" He didn't hold it up long enough for me to see- he left it on my front door, held by the weatherstrip. I asked him why he was touching my property without gloves and not wearing a mask. He pulled a mask out of his pocket and dangled it. I told him that touching my property was not appreciated during this pandemic, to which he replied, " I don't have Covid." I asked him how would I know that, it could be all over him and asked, "And you want to see my vulnerable Mom?" He, at that, turned around and left my property. My "BYE" made it expressly clear he was not invited or wanted on my property.
Now, in retrospect, I wonder why he felt it necessary to open my storm door- is it because if my elderly mother answered the door he could force his way in to obtain information that he could then use to rip her off?
The card he left had her handwriting on it, indeed, but there are no company identifiers and no contact us information. This card is identical to a yellow one posted online ( about the same scam in 2017; only the state name and year is different- please look up this address: https://doorcoutypulse.com/funeral-expense-mailer-may-scam/ ). In tiny, tiny print that no senior can see without a microscope, it states "Not affiliated or endorsed by any government agency." My mother stated that when she received the mailing, it looked to her like it came from the State. She is not a dumb person, either- her skepticism was not triggered, which is what they are counting on. What legitimate company provides no "contact us" information to prospective customers?
Last evening, 28 July 2020, my mother brought me another mailer. This one is similar, promising up to 20 thousand in covered expenses instead of the 35 thousand. It is a full page which includes a perforated, detachable area at the bottom which has her information prefilled in type with blank areas for telephone number and age. There is a box that would accept a check or an "X" that is next to the statement, " Please see that I receive the final expense plan information that I requested as soon as possible."
The body of the letter is as follows:
"Dear (her name),
RE: Funeral Advantage Program Assists Seniors
We are pleased to announce: You may qualify for the Funeral Advantage Program that will pay your family in the event of your death an insurance cash benefit up to $20,000.00 TAX FREE. Many TEXAS residents age 45-80 have already been accepted for this program- created to help pay for one's funeral and any other final expenses.
To see if you qualify, mail this postage- paid card today. Requests made after 15 days may not be processed. Currently, you may qualify even if you have a health condition.
"
There is a reference number, state, county entries on the R side of this white and red card, along with SCF: 765. Below this it states OFFICE USE ONLY.
On the R side of the text body, there are the words, MAIL TODAY There is no charge for this information inside of a banner- shaped flag that points down to a square. Inside that square it states, FUNERAL ADVANTAGE with the symbol of an eagle inside a circle.
With this paper is a postage free envelope which reads:
BUSINESS REPLY MAIL
FIRST CLASS MAIL PERMIT NO. 6015 PHOENIX, AZ
(All of this inside a rectangle)
POSTAGE WILL BE PAID BY ADDRESSEE appears below the rectangle.
PROCESSING CENTER
PO BOX 29044
PHOENIX AZ 85038-8958
I am not sure if the two are the same mailer "companies" but there are scams targeting elderly people and you need to be extremely wary. This is an extreme disservice to our country's elders and risks every single one of them to Covid exposure, if not home invasion.
It should be placed in a national spotlight so our seniors are not still forced to endure this type of predation.
As for me, I will return the mailer myself. I will block my mother's information and include my opinion of them ( vampiric and predatory) instead. There's a postage paid envelope just begging to be returned. It is outrageous, and the violation of my mother extends to me. She is lucky she lives with me and not being victimized right now.
The next scammer foolish enough to show up on my property will find the police that I called behind them.
I tried to send an image from my phone to my computer but this format makes a transfer too difficult; I would have to send it separately; if I did, I am not sure the two would be immediately associated with one another.
