A letter came to my house addressed to my grown son about his factory warranty possibly expiring and that he needed to call them to keep breakdown coverage. There is nothing identifying the company - no name, no address - only the 888-404-0289 number and a deadline (11/27/2025) to respond by. The postage on the envelope says: MAILED FROM ZIP CODE 92799 PRSRT STD US POSTAGE PAID SANTA ANA CA PERMIT NO 325 [BBB Scam Type: Other] [Business: Unknown] [Location: FL, USA - 33070]
