It is amazing to me that people still answer their phone. If it isn’t my wife or kids then my phone has a silent ringtone. If your voice mail doesn’t successfully transcribe to text then I delete it without listening. I check my postal mail since mail fraud is the only thing still taken seriously by anyone.

Is mail fraud really taken seriously? after I bought my house I got dozens of letters every few days that appeared (or tried to appear) from my lender warning of "FINAL NOTICE call this number about your mortgage!!!!!". The phenomenon is apparently so common and well known that my realtor, the seller's realtor, and my lender ALL warned me about these letters.

I feel like it should be easy for the postal inspectors or to go after these, if they cared. Just gather up some of these letters from someone who just bought a house (seems to be public record when someone buys a house, that's how the scammers know when to target someone). Then just call the number in the letter, trace the call and arrest whoever is there.
