Consumer Groups Warn Against Orange 'Important Notice' Cards in Mailboxes

The cards, designed to appear urgent, are part of a long-running scam aimed at extracting personal data and money from unsuspecting individuals.

Orange cards labeled as 'Important Notice' are appearing in mailboxes, claiming recipients missed a delivery and must call a specified number within seven days.
Consumer protection organizations urge people not to call the number, as it could lead to costly scams or personal data theft.
The scam often involves demands for personal information under the guise of settling debts or completing a 'data verification' process.
The cards lack proper sender information, such as a company name or address, further signaling fraudulent intent.
This scam tactic has been reported for years, but recent incidents suggest a resurgence, prompting renewed warnings from consumer advocates.
