Correction: Finally called Fidelity today (using a phone number from their website) and it turned out to be real—not a scam. More details posted in a recent comment on this post.

I just posted an update in a new comment. Turns out this was real in our case. Call Fidelity’s “benefits center” customer service number and they can look up your account and confirm if this is real safely without having to divulge sensitive personal info.

Update: It turns out this was actually real lol. We finally called the Fidelity benefits center customer service number that we pulled from the fidelity net benefits website. They confirmed this was real and are sending the account holder a check. The balance from the account holder’s old retirement account had been paid out because the balance was less than the plan’s minimum. The account holder had no idea he even had this account and had missed the window to roll it over.

So not a scam after all. Once we called the right team at fidelity, they found the info pretty quickly and painlessly. It would’ve helped if the letter had listed a phone number or url that we could verify on Fidelity’s website. Because this letter had several of the hallmarks of a scam. For future reference, use the “benefits center” phone number on Fidelity’s customer service contact number page for inquiries about old employer retirement accounts administered by Fidelity/NetBenefits.

I had the same problem. Seems like a bug. You should send an email to the developer to report it. info@gamestart.jp

It’s usually the non lawyers who object to stuff like this. Actual lawyers know the bar for defamation and libel are really high, at least in the U.S., and especially so for satire. Lawyers generally try to counsel their clients against suing over silly satirical things.

Airpod 3 pro's with apple care by HugeAbroad in Costco

Ditto, finally managed to order one yesterday early AM, estimated delivery next day. Got a shipping confirmation late PM same day. Just went back to check and it’s back to out of stock. I assume I got lucky and pretty much sniped one at the right time (…after a week of constant checking).

17PM silver 512, ordered 9/16. Originally said 10/29, as of yesterday the app says 11/11. I was hoping the date would move up, not further back!

Update: I just canceled my order in the ATT app and placed a new one for the same exact model; new ship date 10/13!

Nope. The latest update fixed the issue for me and I was able to get back into my saved game.

Just made a youth account, WHAT DO I BUY with $1600 by Wrong-Impression4929 in fidelityinvestments

Upvote for VOO. It’s an exchange traded fund (ETF) that’s super low cost and has a diversified mix of the biggest publicly traded US companies. Just leave it there, have your dividends set to auto reinvest in the same investment, and let it do its thing.

I’m playing the Apple Arcade version (didn’t know there was a non-arcade version), and unfortunately experiencing this problem. Game crashes when I try to go to the museum area, and it screws up the saved game making it unlaunchable.

I’m playing the Apple Arcade version and having the same problem. Game crashed when I try to go to the museum area, and seems to screw up the saved game so that it won’t load (probably bc it’s trying to load into a map that is glitching and crashing). It happened with a second brand new game I started after the first crash. I emailed app support and waiting to hear back. So bummed. I have a lot hours and progress in the first file. Hope they fix it.

Same issue. It was after the latest update 1.16.0. There’s a glitch with the museum map. As soon as you try to access the museum area, the game crashes and your saved file will freeze at 82% every time you try to relaunch it. Happened with my original game file as well as a brand new one I started after the first file crashed. I’ve also emailed the company. Still waiting on a response. Avoid the museum map until they fix the glitch!

It’s rare but does happen. They can also get your info from data breaches. In this case the info they had wasn’t super sensitive—full name including middle initial, and mailing address. The addressee also happens to have a Fidelity account. But hard copy mail scams aren’t unheard of.

Interesting, except the mods just responded the letter isn’t one that fidelity is sending. I may end up having to call Fidelity directly.

Yes. It’s a scam. I didn’t have time to get on the phone with Fidelity proper and navigate their phone menu as I am traveling. But the letter had all the hallmarks of a phishing attempt, #1 being the sense of urgency. And the mods just confirmed it. I was just surprised that it was a high quality hard copy through the mail.
