Scam Description

I received what looks like a paycheck with my lender’s name listed on the outside. I opened it and it says ‘FINAL NOTICE’ along with ‘We reserve the right to revoke allocated waiver after 7 days of receiving this notice’. Then they have a fake check at the bottom written out to me for $199.00. I’m asked to call an 800 number to verify my personal information. A quick search of the phone number reveals this is a scam. As a new homeowner, receiving documentation in the mail with my lender’s name and exact loan amount is very confusing. It’s difficult to tell what is legitimate versus fake.
