not fooled

3. As an aside re: insurance companies

State Farm keeps sending renewal notices for a previous occupant of my house, who died well before I bought it a couple of years ago.

I have called both local offices and the national call line trying to get them to stop, but am told they do not check for customer deaths. Seems bizarre and an opportunity for fraud should someone continue paying the premiums. Also a cheap-out by State Farm--apparently it's cheaper to keep spamming my mailbox with a dead person's notices than to keep track of whether their customers are in fact alive.
