Just don't give them your credit card information. Worst case now, they hound you a bit on the phone and via email. But if they have your card information, they take a big chunk of money for next to nothing.

Avast detected a trojan when I followed your link. May be a false-positive but, maybe it wasn't.

I advise folks to avoid the site until the site's ownder has determined if it is clean or infected.

AN outsider may have sneaked in and implanted a trojan or……. or…. as, said, it was a false-positive by Avast anti-viral software.

Got notice in mail for same. I knew it was a scam, as my car is out of warranty being a 1998. I haven't shredded yet, but I didn't waste my time calling either.

thank you for the information. The AWA just send me my third and final notice. I called and they wanted my personal information. I questioned them because they should already know the make and model of my car….if they know my warranty expired. What can I do to press my point to the BBB?
By the way, they got no information and I called my dealership and confirmed my warranty is just fine…

I just received a call from “the automotive division” telling my VIN# was red flagged and would be deleted from the system today, so they wanted to offer me a warranty at 0% interest, no towing or rental fees, $0 premium & wanted to tell me what my payments would be. I stayed on to see what they had to offer & the supervisor came on. I told them I would need to speak with my husband about it and she said “oh, okay I'll hold” and I said, “no, he's out of town and he'll be calling me this afternoon”. She replied “oh, well, I'll hold and you go ahead and call him.” I explained to her my husband is at his hunting camp and there are no phones, I have to wait for him to call me (knowing there would be no call back number to accept this offer later). Sure enough, she then asks me if its MY car & why I would need to call my husband. I kindly told her yes, its my car, but my husband and I don't make any financial decisions without consulting each other. She then told me there is no way to hold this call open, its computer generated, so I'd be missing out on this wonderful offer. I said “yep, I guess I will have to” and she hung up on me! Nice, huh? I would love nothing better than to get HER home number and waste HER time trying to steal from money from HER.

I also had a call a year or two ago from a different, less convincing company, where the guy asked me what kind of marriage I had if I couldn't even make a decision on my own? He kept on trying to make me feel like some kind of mis-treated wife. I could see how that would work with some women who aren't as comfortable with where they are at the time. Its a good ploy….but buyer beware. Anyway, he got real ugly! Basically, there are no deals that are today only but they won't give you any information about who they are and what their product really is. ALWAYS get it in writing!!!!!!!

[...] one called Automotive Warranty Advisors. Great minds must think alike because this company also has numerous complaints against it, including a WTOC TV investigation which describes the car warranty scam [...]
