Vehicle Warranty Scam

GoldenRivet · 11-04-10, 07:33 PM

Received another one of these things in the mail today:

"WARNING: Your vehicle warranty has expired, you must take action immediately so that you may continue your vehicle warranty"

I called them up once and i asked "Do you represent Nissan?" they said "No".

I said "so you wouldnt have any clue as to whether or not my warranty has expired or is about to expire would you?"

they tried their best to dance around that one even though it states expressly in their little mailing that "Your vehicle warranty has expired"

these guys are trying to turn a dime by selling you something you already have.

I'll call tomorrow and screw with them pretty good

cant wait

Yeah, one would think that, in your case Nissan, would be the ones informing you that your warranty is expiring.

Not to mention when i had received one for the Nissan... the truck was factory new by a few months.

I would imagine these guys are making millions by hitting single moms and old ladies that dont know any better.

someone who doesnt keep up with things like their warranty might look at it and it creates a sense of panic - "Oh noez i better do what these guys are asking fast!"

and they end up buying the exact warranty they already have that came with the car they purchased!!!
