Received this letter in the mail with no sender information. Inside, the top said: "MOTOR VEHICLE NOTIFICATION, Vehicle Service Division." It listed my name, and the make and model of my car. The letter read: "This letter is to inform you that the coverage on your [CAR MAKE AND MODEL] may be expiring or may have already expired. Please contact 1-888-535-0247 today to get your coverage up to date. Without coverage in place, you are at risk of being financially liable for any and all repairs. However, you still may have time left to activate coverage on your vehicle before it's too late. No inspection will be required and final acceptance is subject to your ability to meet eligibility requirements. We reserve the right to revoke your eligibility for service coverage after 5 days. Call IMMEDIATELY as this will be our FINAL ATTEMPT TO NOTIFY YOU 1-888-535-0247." It then gave a "Respond by" date set less than a week after I received the mail, and listed that same phone number again along with hours of operation in CST. Below that was a "Registration fee voucher", which looked strangely like a check and had my name, address, and "$199" listed on it. There was no clear identification of the sender except for the phone number. At the very bottom in fine print it reads if you call the number you consent to receiving text messages and automated voice calls.
