From today’s Charlotte Observer:
Charlotte’s Better Business Bureau is advising local residents to ignore mailers from an entity called the National Processing Center offering information on insurance to cover funeral expenses.
The Washington, D.C.-based National Processing Center, which is not to be confused with the U.S. Census Bureau’s statistics-gathering hub of the same name, has an F-rating from its local BBB. National Processing Center is a trade name used by Texas-based America’s Recommended Mailers, which calls itself a direct mail advertiser.
The paid-postage mailers, addressed to North Carolina residents between the ages of 50 and 85, tell recipients they can apply for a “new state regulated life insurance program to pay for final expenses for just pennies a day, regardless of your medical condition, even if you’ve been turned down before.”
