The Coding Institute appears to publish a journal called "Pathology/Lab Coding Alert." This company sent me a bill which made it appear I owed them $357.00 in the "Please Pay This Amount" column. Only upon very close examination of the bill did I find I was "under no obligation to pay."
I contacted the company and they said I indeed did not owe them. I asked them to cease any further correspondence with me, but they sent the same "bill" to me again several months later. Many busy professionals would have simply had their secretary pay this bogus bill. This type of scam may not be illegal, but should be.
