Tips to watch out for with scam letters include multiple misspellings and inaccurate information that doesn't make sense. For example, this one purports to be from a former County Judge who hasn't worked for the county in YEARS. Also, County government has nothing to do with issuing social security numbers. Not to mention words like "Respected" and "LOOSE" the account as opposed to "LOSE".
