Scam Description
Several mailings rec’d. Then “Final Notice” rec’d 6/24/24 – All by USPS. The company name and/or location was not actually shown. Just “Home Warranty Dept” [Record ID #164VV07628 with Registration Fee Voucher for $199.00] Notice intended to Alarm & Intimidate a homeowner, with repeated “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUESTED, PLEASE CALL IMMEDIATELY: 1-888-413-5452” Called & asked:: Source of mail list & personal info, [ie. fixed income.] Agent “Thomas” kept talking about the costs of home appliances, etc. Refused to answer ?s / asked if he was a robot 🙂 Aware that Public Land Records will disclose Tax & Owner Info. of real estate; The date of transfer would give an idea of owner age, etc. as well as social media. My cell does not have internet connection, it is a dumb phone, thus, it may not be hacked. 🙂 [I did not share that with “Thomas”, but told him would contact BBB! Thank You for option to share Info. These Un-Kind Actions on ‘Classic Folks’ does Not mean we are all targets! Receive other mailings for Warranty; with threats to contact a Mortgage Company, etc. Asked to be removed from list, have a Home Warranty for many years. Most are nicer responses. Thank You again, for being helpful to All Ages!
