California Structured Settlement Payees are being bombarded with Baloney Letters
Baloney Letters offer “Structured Payment Analysis”
The scammers send the solicitation to your home mailbox claiming to have conducted an annual review of your payments.
Tell Tale Signs of “Phonus Balonus”
- No return address on the letter
- One too many “mays”. If they already concluded an annual review, they would have no use for the word “may”. They would know.
- The phone number was answered by someone who purported to work at “Lincoln” and knew nothing about the letter.
UPDATE The Toll-free number on the letter was answered by “Chris” from Vintage Equity Group when I called on June 4, 2026 at 11:46A.M.EST.
Vintage Equity Group is a small Wilmington Delaware based financial services company, specializing in factoring of structured settlements and annuities, helping clients convert future payment streams into immediate cash.
Vintage Equity Group was a named Defendant in the Sheron Jones case
Don’t fall for Baloney Letters!
