A quick heads-up to those who have a mortgage refund coming to them. There is a company called American Data Services based out of Cincinnati, OH who is sending notifications out to people who have a refund coming to them. The letter LOOKS like they will get you your check if you pay them 10%. However, if you read it CAREFULLY or send the money... you'll see that they only INFORM you of how to get the refund... which I already knew how to do. I didn't want to do the notary, get a copy of my old grant deed, etc. So, for $169 (their 10% cut) I figured I'd just do it to get my $1,658.00. Wrong! I got a flippin' letter saying to get an application from HUD and send that in... which means notary, copy of my deed, etc.

Be careful. They say they will send you 'return information'... not your return.

Just some slime-balls trying to rip people off. They got me. I tried calling their number and they never called me back. You only get a cheesy answer machine.

Thank you for posting this. I had never heard of this company and was not sure if it was a scam until I read your post. Thanks for saving me time and money lost! I contacted HUD and they will send me the information needed to receive my refund.

I received a letter over the weekend and was pretty skeptical, especially since it did not specify how my refund would be processed. I did a google search on American Data services and your post came up. Thanks for saving me the time and money from dealing with these scammers.

I got one of those letters also
