Description

I received three separate pieces of mail regarding an expired warranty for a vehicle I don’t own. Each letter instructed me to contact different customer service departments to resolve the lapsed warranty. I suspected these were scam letters, because again, I don’t own the car mentioned in the notices and because one uses “Approval Number” rather than “Account Number” at the top. I also wanted to verify that no one had opened a car loan in my name. Additionally, the mail was addressed to “Stanton Shannon,” which reverses my actual name—I’m Shannon Stanton, not Stanton Shannon. But, the mail was still delivered to my address. I called one of the numbers listed to get clarification, but I now realize this was probably a mistake, as it could have exposed me to further scams or identity theft attempts.
