It would be worthwhile to call Alliance then and forward them a copy of the letter.
Not entirely related but still it shows what length some would go to in order to getsome money out of people. Last year my wife grew tired of her dayhome service and decided to apply to a work from home position with "State Farm Insurance" advertised on monster.ca. With this new position my wife received a check from "State Farm" in order to purchase their recommended laptop computer and software. She deposited the check, it bounced and therefore our bank account was frozen. In the mean time "State Farm" called her to say that they overpaid her by a thousand dollars and if we could write them a check they will ensure the check received would clear (it supposedly had bounced because they realized the overpayment and put a hold on the check)
We then called StateFarm from the numbers found on the website and not the letter she was supplied. The first person we talked was ensure of our situation so she passed us onto to her superior. Needless to say after many phone calls from fairly high state farm officials and faxed copies of what we had received it turned out to be a scam. Thank goodness she had decided to follow up with it instead of sending the requested $1000.00 check.
The scammers used State Farms logo and did a good job to make everything appear to be legitimate. Do your homework on this one and ensure you are protected.
