Received a letter telling me to contact a specific number regarding my factory warranty coverage, and that if I neglect said coverage that I would be liable for all repairs after "factory warranty" expires. No return address, other than the postal address is sent from zip code 63155 permit 5497. No labeling of government body or private company, only vehicle make, year, and model as well as "Official Business," "Penalty for Private Use, $300," and "Final Notice" at the top of the page. It's signed by James Winters and gives the number 1-888-535-0247. [BBB Scam Type: Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill] [Business: Official Business - Name on letter: James Winters] [Location: MD, USA- 20744]
