Description

USPS letter received with personal address, name, and current vehicle type, including "FINAL NOTICE" in the top middle of the letter, barely visible through the letter's plastic. There is no identifiable info for what company is sending this letter, except for a phone number to call belonging to someone named "James Winters" and the name, US Automotive Protection Services, at the very bottom in fine print. This letter states that my factory warranty is expiring and to ensure coverage continues that I need to call and verify my VIN number and mileage. It also states that "By neglecting to activate your coverage you will be at risk of being financially liable for any and all repairs after your factory warranty expires." This is a phishing scam meant to gather your vehicle info, especially with no return address or easily identifiable info pointing you to who or what company this notice is from and the "FINAL NOTICE" being bolded which will draw anyone's attention immediately to the letter.
