Caution: unsolicited warranty notices arriving by mail often hide a telemarketing scam. These letters typically list your vehicle make, model and year, then urge you to call a toll‑free number to “renew” or “extend” coverage that you already have. Ignoring the call, refusing to share additional personal details, and contacting your state attorney general or consumer protection agency are the safest steps. Verify any warranty status directly with your dealer or manufacturer before providing payment information. Consider placing a do‑not‑call request with the phone carrier and regularly review credit reports for unexpected activity. Protecting your privacy and personal data reduces the risk of fraud.
Repeatedly, I receive letters regarding a vehicle I do not own, stamped with CarShield and referencing the DMV; immediate action should be taken against these individuals.
This appears to be a typical scam, although an address is listed, it's unclear if the caller is actually based there.
Its not that simple to just think seniors are the only ones being targeted, the youth are the ones who are mostly targeted by scamers.
It's suspicious that a non-existent company has a dot com website.
A letter was received stating that my Kia Forte's factory warranty had expired, despite never owning such a vehicle. The subsequent call offered a discount for military personnel, which I do not qualify for, and the conversation ended with the caller becoming aggressive.
After perusing the posts on this forum, I find it amusing how frequently they appear to change their company name, currently they are operating under the moniker CarShield, but they have been known to use numerous other names, albeit the phone number remains the same
Following two calls which I hung up on, they sent me two letters stating my Buick enclave warranty needed to be renewed, but the thing is, I dont own a Buick, thats just rediculous

Recieved a letter with my grandparents car informations, but the year was incorrect, says its from an "Independent Nation Wide Company"
This company's tactics are deceptive, as they try to convince you that your warranty has expired, and when I questioned the representative about the source of my information, he refused to provide a clear answer
This is a total scam, as they obtain car sales records and send them to owners when the factory warranty is nearing expiriation, attempting to make it appear as an official Toyota extension.
I also recieved a letter, but when I called them, they just kept pushing me to buy something, I already have the same coverage they were trying to sell me

I recieved a supposidly official-looking letter, complements of the Vehicle Protection Center, which had my car's make, model, and year on the envelope, and appeard to be a case of privacy invation, especally since some states sell residents' information, and the motor vehicle dept may have sold my information to this company, making it impossible to opt out
After receiving a letter regarding a problematic car purchase, a follow-up call from this number resulted in a request to remove my information, which was met with an inappropriate inquiry about my current vehicle.
I also received a similar notification recently
I received a letter from the so-called 'Vehicle Protection Center', which was addressed to the wrong first name and city, indicating a spamming attempt

The letter I received was identical to yours, and it's a blatant scam - my third encounter with them; when I called, they claimed to have difficulty hearing me, prompting me to suggest they forward the 'garbage' to my state attorney general.
It's appalling how some individuals take advantage of their fellow citizens, prioritizing financial gain over ethics and integrity.

I received what appears to be a misleading message regarding my warranty, which I know has not expired, suggesting that this is a deceptive tactic to manipulate the public.
I recieved the same letter as someone else, it's a bit confusing.
A letter arrived with my name and vehicle details, along with this phone number, stating that my vehicle warranty had expired and urging me to call immediately. The letter, from an entity called Vehicle Protection Center, lacked specific identifying information, making it appear suspicious
