Scam Description
I received a 2024 Final Notice from a home warranty division. I thought it was to get involved in the things that need to be addressed with my new house that I purchased within the past yr. I called the number and they explained to me that the warranty on my home was running out. I said ok what do I need to do. They wanted $299 a month for 16 months to extend the warranty. when I said I couldn’t afford that they went down to $199 a month for 24 months, when I said that was still too much, he asked me where I work. I told him I was a school bus driver. He said perfect. I can get you a discount a teachers union discount. I said I’m not in a union. He basically over talk to me and said and then offered me a plan for $169.00. because of being in a union which I’m not in, I explained that im a school bus driver for a private charter school so it was at that point I told him that I needed to check my finances out and make a phone call. he said I couldn’t hang up but he would hold on the line till I made the call because if I hung up, I would not be able to get the discount, so I made a second call on my phone after pausing his call , then I contacted my homeowners office and asked them if they had gotten this home warranty plan at which time they contacted Someone and I found out that this whole thing is a scam I spoke with two different men. The first man’s name was Maurice. He said he was working for a company named Zürich who are the underwriters for MI homes., when I was having trouble coming up with the amount, he then put me in touch with someone named Dan Carlos at ************. Once I found out, it was a scam. I hung up and I am now reporting it to the Better Business Bureau. They also have at the bottom of the letter a Florida license number of W887595. Somehow, they know that I purchased my home almost a year ago. They had the date of my closing on my home.
