When have people with mental health problems been "dumb"?

Very true, sorry I stand corrected. Although I still stand by the fact just because you are dumb it doesn't mean it should be okay to be scammed. It just what the scammers are looking for, vulnerable people to take advantage of. If any thing we should be protecting these people from scammers, not sending out a message that its okay to scam the less mentally agile

However seeing as NIP's are actually sent by regular mail it would be foolish to ignore any based on that!

I guess you could check up on it by contacting local police. I'm pretty sure they could tell you if you have an issue pending. I'd always be suspicious of demands for money via the mail.

But a NIP is not a demand for money. It simply tells you that the driver of car XXX is accused of an offence. It is usually accompanied by a request to name that driver.

Until the driver is identified, they don't know to whom the demand for money should be addressed!
