Don’t be a victim – hang up!

Don’t be fooled by one of the most obnoxious and deceptive marketing campaigns conducted via mail and phone selling outrageously priced extended car warranties.

A major red flag is the following words: “Final Notice: Expiring Auto Warranty.” The strategy is to be proactive and in charge of your own purchasing, do your own research on extended car warranties.

Sadly, some are falling into the trap of these cruel campaigns and are driving people crazy. Not only is it an invasion of privacy, but illegal. For those that are sold on this overpriced warranty often experience trouble using it. So please be aware of this scam.

If you are a victim of multiple mailings and phone calls, don’t allow this snake-like approach go unreported, make a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission.

The Better Business Bureau of Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois listed 92 extended warranty companies in their area and are responsible for a large number of complaints across the United States. Fortunately an investigation is in process by Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon and has made legal action. Yet, this doesn’t mean a few companies haven’t slipped through the cracks.

Be in charge of your own purchase on an extended warranty and ahead of the game!
