Description

I received a letter purporting to be from Hyundai from James Winters. I was told to call 888-535-0247 and give my VIN car number and mileage before 22 July or I would lose all my Hyundai coverage. That made no sense to me, since I just purchased the car in March this year. I called thee4 dealer just to be sure it was a scam and he said this number is already targeted as a scam. This person obviously knows my name, address, and the year of type of Hyundai I have.
