“National Processing Center” Appears to Replace “American Senior Alliance” in Suspicious Mailing to Seniors

By Tucker Sutherland, editor, SeniorJournal.com

Dec. 14, 2004 – Last month we warned senior citizens to be wary of a mailing from the American Senior Alliance that made outlandish promises of information available about “important Elder Law changes.” Now, there is a new mailing to seniors with even more promises and the return address is to the National Processing Center. We are reporting both to the U.S. Postal Inspectors for investigation.

Editor's Note: A reader contacted us today and said he just got the old mailing with the old address - so this company may still be using both.

 

Has National Processing Center replaced American Senior Alliance?

 
 

Our first story on American Senior Alliance

 

American Senior Alliance Should Be Viewed With Caution

Nov. 30, 2004 - SeniorJournal.com has received many emails concerning a mailing to senior citizens by the American Senior Alliance, but no one has been able to locate this company, which make excessively enticing promises in the mailing. We suggest seniors not respond to the mailing. More... 11/30/04*

The return card to request the free information asks for the sender’s signature, age, spouse’s age, county and phone number. Certainly you have to question why a signature is required.

We had suspected the mailing was a scam and this suspicion is even greater after the name of American Senior Alliance has been replaced by the National Processing Center in the new mailing. The new return address is to PMB #220, 325 Pennsylvania Ave., SE, Washington, DC 20077-1038. We suspect this is a mailing service drop box that the promoters hope senior citizens will think is a government service. Although, on the bottom of the card in small print they state, “Not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency.” The old return address was a post office box in Marietta, Georgia.

The postal permit for the return postage on the original card was issued in Fort Worth, Texas, but the latest one is from Washington, D.C.

We receive emails from SeniorJournal.com readers everyday about this mailing. We urge you not to respond until you learn more about the operation.

Watch for return addresses on the cards to either the “National Processing Center” or the “American Senior Alliance.”

We urge you, too, to notify the U.S. Postal Inspectors. For the online report form - Click Here
