Description

Recently but a new vehicle & received a letter in the mail with my contact information & my vehicle VIN on the form. Stated I was to activate my service contract (I had purchased one when I bought the car & entirely forgot that it was something I paid for then that day..). They were very smart with their questions & responses. They said they needed $275 per month for 18 months & the last 3.5 years of the term were paid for through that.. I stated asking questions & being flustered about the cost. She said "this is something you're going to want if somethings happens. we're here to help get you out of a bind, not put you in one.." Very smart & kind overall.. Took my card info & ran the payment. It was all fake.
