Action Merge issued a letter dated March 28, 2016, via email on April 4, 2016, or via certified mail if they did not have an email address for the customer. The letter notifies the customer of the issue, informs them of a workaround and that a fix is not yet available but they will be notified once one is available. The notification instructs the customer to pass the information onto all other users, as well as any downstream customers if it was further distributed. The notification also informs the customer their response is required using the enclosed form and the return addressed envelope. The response form asks, in part, if they are interested in accepting the fix. If they decline the fix, they are asked to provide the reason why. The response was required no later than April 18, 2016. Nonresponders were issued a second letter dated July 11, 2016, asking for a response by August 2, 2016. For further questions, please call (877) 741-5369.
