She said that I was defrauding people and that what I was doing is illegal, and that she was going to report me to the Texas Attorney General.  She then hung up before I had a chance to even respond to her accusations and threat.  I obtained my mailing list from the county tax assessor and my letter is from a course I purchased, which had nothing in it that should set someone off.  I figured I was okay, given that there are probably thousands of wholesalers who send these letters, but since I am new to this and it was my first direct mail campaign, I got worried that maybe I missed something. Thanks for your comments. 

Thank you everyone for responding to my post.  I didn't think I was doing anything illegal, like she accused me of doing, but being new at this I started to get a little worried that maybe I had missed something.  I'm going to keep moving forward and try to get some deals under my belt. Thanks again!

Jeremy and Greg, thank you for taking the time to respond my my post.  You guys put my mind at ease. 

I am a new wholesaler in Texas and sent out my first direct mail campaign last week.  Today I received a phone call from an angry lady in California who received one of my letters and said that I am defrauding people and that what I am doing is illegal and that she is going to report me to the Texas Attorney General's Office.  

I obtained my mailing list from the county directly and my letter states that I am interested in purchasing her property.  Is this something I need to be worried about?

Thank you,

Larry
