Help me check this out...
We received a letter today from a life insurance company, stating that they are in receivership and are asking for assistance locating a policy holder (namely my wife's father) so that they can settle a financial obligation owed to their client and/or client's beneficiaries.
The thing is, he died 17 years ago. So we're a little suspicious. Of course we googled the name of the company and the name of the lawyer on the letter. And got web sites which looked nice & official, which I personally could fake in about five minutes.
What's the best way to verify this is (or is not) legit before we reply? Licensing? Court records?
