Scam Description
Received postcard with my spouse’s correct name and address imprinted on it, bearing the message that a warranty for our home ‘mechanical systems’ was going to expire and needed to be renewed for ongoing ‘protection’. Was directed to call the phone number on the card to make payment (no payment amount indicated). Postcard bore no company name or website, only the telephone number reported. The card looked like an official government mailing, without postage but stamped as if sent by an official government agency (none identified) with wording to indicate official U.S. bulk mailing that (allegedly) had been mailed from a U.S. city, possibly St. Lewis, MO, ( I can’t remember the exact city now, and am not be 100% certain, but I do recall that it indicated it had been sent from somewhere in the Midwest USA, not Washington DC, which I thought odd). Unfortunately, I shredded the card after I realized it was a scam and before I decided to report it to the BBB.
