Complaint Filed with Attorney General by Someone who got my yellow letter

Dee Miles

The AG of my state (Washington) sent a notice to me last week that someone has filed a complaint about receiving a yellow letter from me. Their complain states: "I received an unsolicited letter asking to buy one of our homes which was not on the market. After doing some research, I found that the return address was actually the Post Office and that this was a common housing scam. I've attached pictures of the letter."

Has anyone received a complaint that involved yellow letters and the Attorney General? It's true that the return address I use is the street addressing that the PO lets us use instead of it saying PO box. A common practice, in my experience. I use a PO box because I live in a rural area where the mailboxes are either mowed down all the time or mail is stolen, therefore for business, I got a PO box.

I am still a newbie at this and have only sent out about 1000 letters. What odds to get someone to complain! I haven't even done 1 deal yet either.

The letter from the AG states I have 21 days to respond and that all complaints, including responses, are public record, so now I have public record that shows I have a complaint! Not the direction I was hoping to go with my new business. Not even a single testimonial in my favor before this complaint.

Any comments are appreciated. Thanks!
