Description

I purchased a used car in May 2025 and added a powertrain warranty. I received a final notice in the mail saying I needed to contact 888-646-0339 to activate my warranty. When I called, they told me I needed to pay an additional $218 to activate my warranty. When I questioned why I needed to pay this cost, they put me on hold. When I googled the number, I found it listed here as a scam. I called the number back and told them I was reporting them to the BBB, and they promptly hung up on me.
