Description
This was a postcard received in the mail. It looks very official. It is 2-sided. One side has at the top of the card "Home Warranty Division" and the other side of the card has "County Deed Records". It states that it is a warranty replacement notice for Mechanical Systems. I did not call the number which is 1-888-413-5452. It gives a registration i.d. number and a pin number. This is clearly a scam because we don't have this type of warranty coverage. However, since it is so official looking, I can see how someone could easily fall for it.
