I'd call them up and tell them to close the account.

WHen I saw your original post, it didn't click that you got physical mail, mail delivered by the USPS, right? "A letter" to me means something that the post office delivered? That would be hugely ballsy for scammers. Email scamming is one thing, but scamming through the USPS will, if you get caught, put you in the federal pound me in the @ß prison.

If it's email, then it's still a bit more sophisticated than usual. Send the first email, folks ignore it. Send the second email and I'd bet that it would scare a bunch of folks that were on the line into sending the info.

It's a shame that you can't do what they used to do in the movies, back nuke the connections whether it be stealing from the scammers, melting their computers, frying their brains. That would be awesome!
