Scam Description
The scam involves repeated post cards that say you have to call within 5 days of the purchase of a used car or the warranty will expire. The post cards all use certain personal information — full name, address, personal information, Vehicle Identification Number, make and model. The post cards (received 3 of them) claimed I had only 5 days to “update the factory warranty” on my newly purchased used car.
No company is listed — the suggestion is that this is from Hyundai (I purchased a used Hyundai) without saying so.
