BEING IN-THE-KNOW

COVID-19 scams

Defeating fear and fraud Scammers are targeting people during the pandemic by using uncertainty/worry to create urgency. They are selling fake cures, asking for donations to non-existent charities or offering phony work at home opportunities. The best protection against becoming a victim is knowledge! Get protected against scams by learning more at the FCC Coronavirus Scams - Consumer Resources website, fcc.gov/covid-scams.

Warranty letters and cards

We’ve all received those pesky phone calls and mailings about expiring vehicle warranties... but are they true? Most are just a ploy for advertising and have nothing to do with your warranty. These mailers may look like they are from a dealership or manufacturer, but if you look at the fine-print, they are required to disclose that they are indeed not from the manufacturer or dealership. They are coming from a company trying to sell you another warranty. If you currently have a warranty, throw these mailers away and ignore the phone calls. If you are looking (or in need of a warranty) we can help you out, give us a call.
