Actually this news is at least a couple of weeks old. The were hammered by Congress and raked over the coals in the press, and rightfully so.

I must have missed that a couple of weeks ago. Their hammering and raking over the coals didn't amount to more than a slap on the hand, since they have been awarded another 40 million!

Oddly enough, I got an offer in the mail from them...and I am in Canada. Also, I don't think I ever dealt with them or contacted them in the past, so I am kind of baffled.

But I used the postage paid envelope and sent a note saying "take me off your list".

I guess if they tank, it was this one last rejection that did it?

Those postage due envelopes go to a lockbox company, where the employees open them, and the legit applications/replies get processed, and the rest go in the trash.

Well, LH - from the sounds of it, they won't be sending out much more mail....

THey live by direct advertising. If it wasn't effective, they wouldn't do it.

Also, given the amount of insurance policies they hold or control, we better hope they find their way out of this.

Then we need to have a chat with the Federal Govt. about monopolies........
