My mom thought they were good for informing her on issues and providing services. Her insurance policy was 3 times the normal rate. They are primarily just that, insurance brokers to the elderly. My buddy and I use the wallet card they send out with our 'membership' letter for target practice. Friggin rip off rat bastards. | |||

PLEASE let them send one of those to me... It will be as much fun as the IRS scammer who called me and since its an actual written document that went through the mail I could actually turn it into something. That is outright fraud. It's clearly predatory and aimed at senior citizens who might not be savvy enough to realize they didn't order anything and will just pay the bill. | |||

Please do this, my Grandmother is getting a little forgetful and has an OCD (I am joking...) about oweing money.....she might very well write the check as soon as she saw something like this. Fucking scam artists.... Call your local news....I am sure they have an " investigative reporter" that would love to run the headline "AARP scamming the elderly" | |||

I wonder if is the Marketing Department. They always seem to come up with some smarmy stuff. A lot of organizations seem to pull this crap. Must be some new business school class, entitled how to dick old people out of a dollar. I remember someone on this forum sending NRA literature back to them in their prepaid envelope. | |||

I suppose when you've helped certain parts of our government to implement a socialist medical scheme on the American people, basically lied about how it might work, then this is to be expected. ———- Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for thou art crunchy and taste good with catsup. | |||

Sadly this no longer works. They just throw it in the garbage as undeliverable mail. Stuffing unwanted literature in the envelope is about the best you can hope for. | |||

Does it make me a bad person that I laughed out loud when my ex-wife got a membership solicitation from AARP at my address several years ago? I wouldn't have anything to do with those conmen. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I'm 56, I have received exactly two things from AARP since turning 50 and received both within a week. Shortly afterwards I took those two pieces of junk mail to the AARP HQ in DC where I talked with a nice young lady who got a director to come down and talk with me. I told him I would not like another piece of junk mail from them and if I did get another, I would bring every piece of junk mail to them that I received. At that time I was working in DC a couple days a week. Since that day, I have not received another mailing from them. Here is the DC address for those interested; AARP Headquarters 601 E St NW (at 6th St NW) Washington, D.C. 20049 “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” ― Ronald Reagan Retired old fart | |||

I have called and informed aarp that due to their position on firearms that I don't wish to be contacted. I wrote the same thing a couple of times to them. Nowadays anything from aarp and I get something every month, is simply torn in half and discarded or in winter taken apart and used as paper to light the woodstove. _________________________ NRA Patron Life Member | |||

I think the letter might be in violation of a number of debt collection laws. | |||

Here that would be an attempt at theft by deceit, and possibly fraud as well. MANY elderly people will fall for it, assuming they had applied for membership and simply forgotten.
