Aviva "Get In Touch" Letter

[ferlew]

Out of the blue, I have had the above letter. My name, address, year of birth and first 2 letters of NI number.
It states I may have had a policy with them or one of their companies in the past, and to get in touch with them.
Am I right to suspect this may be a scam? If so, how have they got those details I ementioned?

scammers rarely use the post these days & already having your details seems legit

[davebro]

is there a phone number - does it correspond with a phone number on Aviva's website?

[ferlew]

I'll check that out Dave, thanks.

This gives you a list of the many companies which have ended up as part of Aviva. You might recognise one from the past.

No it isn't a scam. Both my mother and I have had these recently. It happens when they have from returned mail from a previous address you lived at.
In both cases we had accounts with companies that Aviva had taken over.

Thank you everyone, I've been googling and there are yays and nays all over the place.
I'll ring that number now.
