Service Advisory, Phishing?

[Jeff Tichy]

Todays mail brought a "Second Notice" postcard from the "National Vehicle Notification Center" about important service advisories published in the Wall Street Journal (July 7, 2004) where product recalls are failing to reach consumers ears.



From the wording of the postcard, which states:

Have your vehicle Identification Number, your vehicles "Accurate" odometer mileage, and the customer identification number on the postcard when you call, it sounds as though the "National Vehicle Notification Center" in Scottsdale Arizona is phishing for people to sign up for something like an extended warranty (if your vehicle qualifies, (my words)).



Has anyone else recieved similar?

I got a similar notice in the mail.

It was a notice that my warranty was about to run out.

( I bought the extended warranty when I got my Trac ).

I called the toll free # just to see what kind of scam this was.

They told me that my warranty was about to run out and that I would

have to pay them money to keep my warranty going.

I then asked them to tell me what year and type vehicle I had.

Well, they could not tell me that information.

I stated to them that, they are the ones that sent me the notice, so they

had gotten my name from somewhere and that they should be able to tell me

some specifics about my vehicle & my warranty.

They,then told me (most vehicles) of my year model was about to run out of warranty.

I told them that I bought the extended warranty with my vehicle and I did not

need their additional coverage, and that I did not appreciate them contacting me

& stating that my warranty was about to run out, when they didn't even

know anything about me, my vehicle, or my existing warranty.

I sarcastically, thanked them for the offer, said goodbye & hung the phone up.
