Someone is sending out fake Capital One letters in the mail.
Hi, I was doing some research or at least trying. But I haven't been able to find anything.
My sister got 2 letters the same month from Capital One. The envelopes look real, they have color on them. But the letters have a different mailing address and zip. And when you look up the address up on whitepages.com it's not an address. And the phone number isn't real. But when you call it, they want to verify your info. And they do ask for your SSN, but my sister hangs up.
What this letter says:

That was the whole letter. Now my sister has never had an acct with this company. I need to know if this is a fake letter. The letters look to be copied, not the real thing. They are black and white. Normally Capital One sends out colored letters. So, we were just wondering if you can find anything out about it. I can't find out anything.
