{"success":true,"data":{"id":"fake-vehicle-warranty-expiration-scam","label":"Fake vehicle warranty expiration scam — vehicle/auto warranty expiring or expired + final notice + call now to extend coverage + limited time offer","description":"Unsolicited email claiming the recipient's vehicle warranty is \"about to expire\" or \"has expired\" — then urging them to call a number immediately to extend their \"vehicle service contract\" or \"extended warranty\" before a \"limited time offer\" expires. These are third-party warranty resellers using high-pressure tactics, not affiliated with the vehicle manufacturer or dealer. Tactics include \"FINAL NOTICE\" subject lines (despite never having sent a first notice), false urgency (\"expires at midnight\"), and claims that the caller's vehicle was specifically identified. FTC 2023: extended vehicle warranty robocalls and emails are one of the top 5 most-reported spam contacts; the FTC banned unwanted warranty calls from 12 major robocalling operations in 2022. Real manufacturer warranty notifications come from the vehicle brand's official domain, include the actual VIN, and never pressure with countdown timers.","tier":"danger","category":"scam","isThin":false}}
