Scam information

This content is based on victim and potential victim accounts. Government agencies and legitimate business names and phone numbers are often used by scam artists to take advantage of people.

Description

Received a letter in the mail with a paper looking like a faux check of $199.00 stating it's an "allocated waiver" and this is their "final attempt to notify [me]". Also states "immediate action requested" and the only option is to call them. It describes my vehicle in general, the dealership I bought it from, and is addressed to me. Has a 10 digit "record ID" and includes a random photo of a car similar to mine (same make and model, wrong color, year, and trim). Has a barcode on it when opened up. It does state at the very bottom in small print that these people are not affiliated with [my] dealership or manufacturer and that the faux check "is not a check".
