My French isn’t particularly good but I’d contact them and let them know they have the wrong person. Short form–someone and their family was approved for insurance coverage and they will probably be wondering shortly why their credit card is being billed.

It looks suspiciously like a ransom email.

If my French can be relied upon, your entire family has been stolen by the French Government and is now being ‘processed’ prior to being sold into the slave trade.

Jayn Newell’s French was good enough. She’s right. This is a pretty important insurance document. It would be wise to return it to the sender so that it can be sent to the right persons.

(financial information follows)

This balance will be deducted from your credit card this current week.

If you need any further assistance, we remain at your service.

Sincerely yours,

etc.
It’s insurance stuff. Pass it along, stat. :slight_smile:

I agree with Jayn, it looks like Monsieur Levy is living overseas and applied for expat health insurance for his family, for which this is an approval letter.

That’s French, alright. The phone number I think is Belgian.

It seems too well written to be spam, and looks real.

However, I’d check out the contact info, address, etc to see whether they’re real. :: googles ::

There are companies, or at least web pages, named Vanbreda and Expatplus. A quick search of the Belgian phone book though InfoBel revealed a company by that name in Antwerp, but with a slightly-different phone number.

Maybe call the person back, but NOT from your home or business phone. Use a pay phone.

I thank all of you for your help. I’m in the US so I don’t feel like calling an international number. I have sent a replay to their E-mail advised them of their error.
