Banks (and others) buy and sell notes all the time. the question in your case is who owns the note. Pay the holder of the note

Here are some possiblilities: 1) This could be a scam, I'm not sure how likely that is, but it's possible; 2) The mortgage may have been assigned to a new lender this happens all the time and they don't have to tell you in advance and they don't have to get your permission; 3) Maybe it's just a mistake?

Well it could have been assigned to the lender. Ask for a copy of the document assigning the loan to it.
