Type of a scam Phishing
My 84-year old mother keeps receiving yellow postcards in the mail with ‘Third Notice’ written on them and ‘I’ve done all I can to get a hold of you and this is my last resort. Please turn this card over….It’s important that I hear from you ASAP." The card tells her to call a number and listen to a recording and to keep the "matter private." She is frightened by the tone and thinks she has done something wrong. I told her it was a scam, probably to buy her house, but I didn’t call the number. Her 60ish year old neighbors did not receive the card. If you can stop whoever it is that is sending these to the elderly, I would greatly appreciate it.

I received 2 emails from [email protected] and [email protected]
Both claiming they sexual content video of me and that they had access to my contacts and would email the video to my family and friends. They want me to pay them money so they wouldn’t send the video out to my contacts.
I have attached a screen shot of one of the emails. This is the sextortion scam I’ve heard about.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
I live in Oregon and got a letter warning me that my vehicles warranty is expiring and that if I do not replace covage I’m liable for different things. First I do not have a vehicle and have not for years and when I did have one I never had a warranty. I had insurance for all that. This bugs me cause I do not really know who to report this scam too so I came to bbb to file a report.

I received a postcard stating that they had tried to deliver a package to me and asking that I can a number and provide the tracking number printed on the postcard. Since it did not have any identifiable information, I did not call and instead researched it and many people indicated this was a scan.

Phone called received stating that my car is about to lose its warranty and says they can sign you up for a new one. Robot asks you if you would like to speak to a customer rep several times even when you answer, then provides a could prompts, one being to be put on their DNC list, which I did. Seemed like the type of scam that records your voice say "Yes" to authorize purchases.
