National Processing Center 2013 Important Tax Law Change; Important Tax Information Enclosed Washington, District of Columbia
The latest scam for the National Processing Center, targets "persons age 60 and over." It arrives in an official looking mustard colored yellow colored envelope with a black band across the center of the front above the adressee window. In the black band, the words "IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION ENCLOSED", lead you to believe there is official information inside. What is really inside is a post card, informing you that there are new tax law changes entitling seniors to avoid taxation on certain investments and assets.
The post card goes on to request personal information, Names and dates of birth, of you and your spouse, and a phone number. This is more like an identity theft, phishing expidition! It also is a prepaid post card to be returned with your information showing it.
On the bottom left cormer of the card, it says "Not affiliated with Social Security or any government agency." There is no phone number, or email address to contact. And, there is not a name of a person to contact if there are questions about the information on the card.
