Just to clarify in case there is confusion. I didn’t receive the (phishing) email that HitchHiker71 is asking about. I do not rent and there would have been no reason for anyone to send that email to me. I did receive the quarterly (I think) Destinations email Eric referred to with the 3 year old link in it. As far as I can tell, renting or not renting, has nothing to do with the Destinations email. It’s simply a ridiculous mistake made by someone, actually probably several someones, at Wyndham. If I had let something like that get by at my old communications job, I would have either been seriously demoted or fired.But you do not rent. So I think it's phishing. The certified letter could be part of a phishing expedition as well, for those who answer the letter. They are looking for dupes.
My stepdad is 87. He just got back from a six-week stay in Georgia with his daughters. I got his mail often and went through it and threw away all of the ads, etc. But there were some I was unsure about because there was no information on the envelope, just his name and a return address. I didn't want to throw out anything that would be important.
He called us yesterday after going through his mail and said he got this letter that looked like it was from his reverse mortgage company. He actually called the number and must have sounded incredibly confused over the phone because the company hung up on him. It was a home warranty company. He kept asking if they were calling for insurance on his reverse mortgage.
Rick's stepmom was sharp when it came to junk mail and solicitations, except those last few years. Same with my Grandma. She suddenly fell for everything.
I hope I don't lose my attachment to reality when I am 87.
