The fax was sent to our fax number but was addressed to nobody at no company. The sender was a well known structured settlement purchaser. Attached to the fax cover sheet was an undated authorization to release information about an annuitant's structured settlement (that I did not write) that included the annuitant's notarized (notary also undated) signature ,address of personal residence and social security number.
The fax cover bore a standard confidentiality notice ''The documents accompanying this fax and the message in this transmission contain confidential information belonging to the sender which is legally privileged. The information is only intended for the use of the individual or entity named above. If you are not the intended recipient…"
The following occurred to me as it may you:
- Why isn't the fax number of the unit that deals with structured settlement transfers at each and every structured annuity issuer stored in the fax machine of the settlement purchaser? Isn't the structured settlement factoring company dealing with hundreds of these sorts of transfers?
- Why isn't the fax cover sheet addressed to anyone?
- Why is the attachment addressed to nobody?
- Why is the attachment undated?
