This is a pension payout like the others have said. I am cashing out an account, and they called and said the paperwork is done, and checks in the mail.;
i recently quit my job and opted to cash out my 401k. over a week ago i called my company's 401k plan phone number and had them put an inquiry through to my old employer to list me as "separated" from the company so that i could file paperwork to get me my money. they provided me with a confirmation number just in case i had to call them back about the status of the inquiry.
I never had to use that number. today, someone called me from 904-791-2500 and left a message saying they had "information about my inquiry" and to call my company 401k number. it was a woman and didnt leave her name. Also when i called the number back it said that it was an ING insurance number that no longer worked.
A few things stuck out to me. 1. its saturday, so ING wouldnt be open for calls. 2. i had already spoken to someone from the 401k job line yesterday and they told me my check would be mailed out monday. 3. The confirmation number she provided me with really didnt matter anymore. i got the information i needed and never had to use it. 4. she didnt say her name in the call, and didnt give me a direct number to call her back on. 5. im thinking it might just be a person that works with the 401k company from my job thats trying to get important information from me like my social, address or something else. 6. i think its a scam. but i will call the number on monday just to be sure nothing is wrong
there calling from lucent/alcotel in reguards to pensions, as i just got a call from them also becuase i had some questions myself in reguards to my pension
This is a pension payout company: State Street Bank in Jacksonville Florida. It is legit. We had called them earlier today to see when pension buyout check would be mailed. She didn't have a date. Later in the day she called back from this number and said that after we spoke a check had processed. So it is a legit company.
