AARP/Hartford Letter

[WilliamM339603]

Could not find a way to e-mail AARP on this, so I am posting it here.

Got a letter from The Hartford with the envelope indicating AARP involvement.

It contained several boilerplate documents, one of which began with "Thank you for your interest in the Hartford."

I do nor know why I received this, do not want it, and question whatever involvement AARP may have.

Any suggestions other than ignore it?

Hi @WilliamM339603 / William. I receive all sorts of spam mail, in the physical sense, and I just cut it up to little pieces, and throw it away in the trash (because that's what it is...trash). If I know I did not sign-up for anything, I immediately know it's coming from AARP, and it's non-private practices. I just trash it. I do not find their solicitations as anything other than running some sort of scam. 

It's funny, isn't it, that... as soon as you sign up with AARP, you receive unexpected solicitations [galore] in your physical mail, as well as, [extreme] spam in your emails.

In perspective, nobody knows/would know if you are an AARP member, except AARP. So, are they (AARP) behind this? Using a front, known as the, 'Fraud Watch Network,' where you can report spam/frauds, is this just a way for them to go above and beyond other ways to scam?

Anyway, use a shredder if this doesn't apply to you, or if you never signed up for it.

AARP thinks seniors are really inept to know the difference, even though they're here to protect them and offer discounts and other services from a non-org. Seems legit. 

Hope this helps! 🙂

This is what is going on now so I went to preferences to see how to get out of marketing emails and it did not give me that choice like other memberships do so I am going to cancel my aarp. It's not worth it to start to get more spam. I imagine it is too late since I just signed up again this month forgetting why I stopped Many years ago.  It is odd since AARP should be protecting us not putting us out there for more possible scamming of the elderly!
