I received an envelope in the mail, from Auto Warranty Division, AUTOMOTIVE INFORMATION on the outside of the envelope. There is a presorted stamp but no postmark. It is informing me that the factory warranty on my vehicle is about to expire or had expired (this in bold letters). It then goes on to tell me that they have just introduced an after market probram that will allow them to offer extended coverage no matter what my current mileage is. It gives me an assigned customer number and encourages me to call WITHIN SEVEN DAYS their number 1-866-538-1212. It is signed by B. Scott Schatzberg, Warranty Director.
I attempted to research the phone number and could find a listing. When I researched the address that particular street address gave me two mortgage companies and one construction company, no auto warranty company. I DID call the number (after their business hours) and the recorded message answers as Auto Warranty Division. Does anyone know anything about this company? I did an Internet search for the name, but did not come up with anything. Something just doesn't look right.

I am almost positive this is related to the phone scam via phone # 307-789-3695. If you google that number there are a few bulletin boards with many reports of auto warranty fraud.
They call your number with an automated message telling you to renew your auto warranty and to press 1 to proceed or 2 to ignore. I've pressed 1 a few times, just to try and get more information from these people and they are very, very shady. Today, I finally got a little more information when I asked the girl what the name of the company was. She mumbled Warranty Division. I asked her multiple times since she was mumbling and was presuming she was lying. Finally she just hung up on me.
Anyway, this sounds very similar. It is a total scam and should be ignored, but brought further to light as a scam for others.
Thanks.

I also got one of these notices (and it isn't the first one I've received either) and called yet again to complain to the company. They are selling a service (although the sales reps quickly deny they are selling anything; they call it "offering a service") and they know absolutely nothing about your car.
They obtain your name from mailing lists of questionable repute and send out these "final notice" letters counting on people to be naive and pay for something they neither need nor requested. They claim they can remove you from their mailing list now but can't promise you won't get re-added later (not true -- if you ask to be removed permanently they must remove you from their list permanently).
I spoke with someone named Jim LaBarbara who said he is a manager there and who gave me what he said was his direct line -- 877-304-7906. Getting to actually speak to a manager was a challenge in and of itself since the sales rep (who isn't really selling anything, he says) did not want to let me talk to a manager at all. Ridiculous.

I received a similar notice, presorted w/ address in Missouri. Signed John P. O'Donell, Warranty Director, Ph# 1-866-538-1212. My car is fairly old and has changed hands a few times - if it ever had a factory warranty it expired long ago - in addition to the 7-day timeline and customer ID#, letter advises me to know my make, model, and mileage - if they know my factory is "about to expire" or "has expired" why don't they know what kind of car I have? It definitely looks sketchy.
