888-963-6723

New scam?
Not a call but a post card was received with this phone number, with FINAL WARRANTY NOTICE printed on it, telling me to call this number to extend my vehicle warranty (only I don't have one).  Return address on post card was "Dealers Warranty" out of St. Charles, MO.  Seems like a new way around the Do Not Call List, is my guess.

I received the same postcard... same situation... I don't have a warranty on a vehicle.  Thanks for your post!!!

They are doing mailings in VA too.

Got one of these in Oklahoma, too.

Now in NH!

Obviously it wasnt just me who felt this way, AG Jay Nixon is now taking the fight to the next level.


Attorney General's News Release
March 6, 2008

Nixons Operation Taken For A Ride” targets sellers of extended service contracts for vehicles who use high-pressure, misleading tactics Jefferson City, Mo. " Attorney General Jay Nixon today took legal action against several businesses, most of them based in the St. Louis area, that used misrepresentation and deception to sell motor vehicle extended service contracts (MVESC) to consumers. Nixon said the coordinated filings of lawsuits and settlements, dubbed Operation Taken For A Ride,involve scores of consumers from across the country who were misled into paying for extended service contracts on their vehicles that, in most cases, they did not need.

Its rather insidious how these companies prey upon consumers fears, sending misleading letters informing them that their current motor vehicle warranties were about to expire, when in fact many of the consumers possessed factory warranties that wouldnt expire for several months, Nixon said. That was the hook to sell these consumers unneeded motor vehicle extended service contracts for hundreds or thousands of dollars. When consumers canceled the contracts, many received only a partial refund or no refund at all.

Nixon says the companies mislead consumers in letters and postcards with boldfaced statements such as Notification of Interruption! and Important Dated Material Enclosed" leaving the impression that they are sent from the manufacturers who produced the consumers vehicles or the dealers who sold the vehicles to them. In fact, Nixon said, the defendants fail to inform the consumers that they are not affiliated with the manufacturer, dealer or any local, state or federal government agency, and that the mailings amount to advertisements for the companys MVESC.

Many consumers confused, but not wanting their car warranties to expire went ahead and purchased the new, but in most cases unneeded, service contract the company was hawking, Nixon said.

In one case, an elderly consumer received a postcard stating that her motor vehicle warranty was expired or about to expire in March 2007, even though her actual extended warranty through General Motors wouldnt expire until November 2008. The consumer purchased a new MVESC for $1,898 from the company, and the company refused to issue a refund when it was requested.

Nixon filed one of his lawsuits against that company, Vehicle Services Inc., of St. Peters, in St. Charles County Circuit Court, requesting injunctions, restitution for consumers, penalties and other relief. In addition, the Attorney General filed lawsuits today against the following businesses:

TXEN Partners, which does business as Service Protection Direct of St. Louis; and a related company, United Warranty Solutions, for using misleading notification letters to pressure, confuse and intimidate consumers into purchasing MVESCs they did not need. The defendants failed to disclose coverage requirements to consumers who purchased MVESCs (such as the requirement to use a specific brand of oil to receive reimbursement for repairs); failed to honor contract terms and perform repair on consumers vehicles; and failed to issue refunds to consumers, including one consumer who is owed as much as $3,800. The lawsuit was filed in St. Louis County Circuit Court.
Dealer Warranty Services of St. Charles, for using misleading notification letters to pressure, confuse and intimidate consumers into purchasing MVESCs they did not need. The defendant also misrepresented to consumers the cost of purchasing the MVESCs and debited the bank accounts of several consumers without authorization. The lawsuit was filed in St. Charles County Circuit Court.

Certified Auto Warranty Services Inc., of Lenexa, Kan., which promised a “100 percent Money Back Guarantee” to those consumers who purchased and canceled MVESCs, but then issued only partial refunds or no refunds at all. One consumer who paid $1,335 canceled her contract, but has received no refund to date. The lawsuit was filed in Greene County Circuit Court.
National Dealers Warranty Inc., of St. Peters, which sent consumers postcards and letters informing them that they had limited time to purchase renewed, extended warranties for their vehicles. The company neglected to inform consumers that it was not affiliated with the dealers or manufacturers of the vehicle, or that it was actually offering to sell MVESCs instead of warranties. The lawsuit was filed in St. Charles County Circuit Court.


National Auto Warranty Services Inc., of Wentzville, which also sent consumers postcards and letters informing them that their warranties were about to expire, and that it was offering them their final chance to purchase a renewed, extended warranty. The company failed to inform the consumers that it was not affiliated with the dealers or manufacturers of the vehicle, and that it was actually offering to sell MVESCs instead of warranties. In addition, the company violated the Missouri No Call Law by calling Missourians who were on the No Call list, as well as federal telemarketing laws by contacting consumers by phone and failing to honor their requests not to be called. The lawsuit was filed in St. Charles County Circuit Court.


Smart Choice Protection of St. Louis, doing business as Direct Dealer Warranties, which also sent consumers postcards and letters informing them that their warranties were about to expire, and that it was offering the final chance to purchase a renewed, extended warranty. The company failed to inform the consumers that it was not affiliated with the dealers or manufacturers of the vehicle, and that it was actually offering the sell MVESCs instead of warranties. The lawsuit was filed in St. Louis City Circuit Court.

In addition to the lawsuits, the Attorney General filed assurances of voluntary compliance with two companies to settle allegations of misrepresentation in the selling of MVESCs:

Carhill Enterprises, which does business as Consumer Protection Services, of 1232 Washington Avenue in St. Louis, will pay $7,209 restitution to eight consumers and $4,000 to the state to cover the costs of the investigation and enforcement of the case. The company also agreed to injunctive relief which requires them to inform consumers upfront of specific details of their product prior to purchasing. The agreement was filed in St. Louis City Circuit Court;
Warranty Activation Headquarters, of 12244 Tesson Ferry Road in St. Louis, satisfactorily responded to all consumers who complained. The company will pay $5,000 to the state to cover the costs of the investigation and enforcement of the case, which was filed in St. Louis City Circuit Court. The agreement also requires the company to provide full refunds to any consumers who cancel within 30 days.


Nixon encouraged consumers who have complaints about businesses selling motor vehicle extended service contracts to file complaints with his office, by either going online to ago.mo.gov or by calling the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-392-8222.

Ditto. No dealer purchased vehicles.   No warranty on any of our many antique cars.  Looks like a way to get valid vin numbers for car makes.  
My 83 year old Dad received the postcard, which could appear AS IF the FINAL NOTICE , etc.  is valid, which it obviously IS NOT VALID!  I really resent those who try to take advantage of the aged!
Return address says generic "Dealer Warranty, 745 Friedens Rd, St. Charles, MO 63303
Funniest thing is 20% discount expires in 48 hours!  Maybe the postal carrier left it at the office, or Dad was on a trip....48 hours my -----!  Perhaps 48 hours ought to do an expose on these obnoxious money elderly abusing companies!  Neither my son nor I received the postcards, just my ancient dad!   Hmmmm....

.....now in NY.  I also get weird messages form 'unknown number' on my sell about warranty....press #1 to clear up matter now, etc.  Very frustrating!

Now in Georgia! Not a call, but a postcard.  Same details as the other posters - Final Warranty Notice, call within 48 hours, blah, blah, blah.
These people must think we're all idiots!!

I just got one today, I live in california.  Thought it was a scam as well, tossed it.

I am in Colorado and I got another phone call this afternoon (a womens voice) and I have been receiving 'recorded' type (when you pick up the phone the recording starts) phone calls 2-3 times a week for about 6 months from someone trying to provide some kind of Chrysler warranty.  The recording does not identify the person or the company.  I have never in my life (I am over 50) received this many soliciting calls from any company.  Also, I don't know how they got my phone number because it is a non-published number.

On March 22, I also received a postcard from Dealers Warranty...745 Friedens Rd. Ste. 201...St. Charles MO 63303.  The postcard says FINAL NOTICE...Factory Warranty Expiration...Call 1-888-963-6723 now to activate.  

"This is to inform you that this is your FINAL NOTICE to extend the warranty coverage on your vehicle.  Call us immediately with your exact miles and VIN# to take advantage of this final offer.  You have been pre-selected for this exclusive program."

I didn't get a phone call, but I received essentially the same postcard as the other parties, addressed to my daughter who hasn't lived here in 5 years and has a 10 month old car with a 5 year warranty!
The postcard was from Dealers Warranty, 745 Friedens Rd. Ste. 201, St. Charles MO 63303.  The postcard is headed FINAL WARRANTY NOTICE and Call

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Crap comes from National Auto Warranty Services 100 Mall Parkway Wentzville MO. 63385. They are Crooks who specialize in ripping off the elderly and infirm. Their phone is 1-800-649-1856. Also known as Dealer Services 1-800-607-9350. The company is owned by Darain and Corey Atkinson
of Eldon MO. ( they are in the phone book ) and the punk who set up the auto dialer systenm with Qwest Communications of Denver is Zack Austin
1-800-753-0870. These people are serial professional LIARS and their outfit is a RIP-OFF SCAM.

Received a post card here in TN with the same info as listed by others here.  I haven't purchased a vehicle in years!!

Just got one of these crooks' postcards in NC. Un-Freakin'-Beleivable!

Missouri Attorney General's office is aware of them.  Fill out the form here, and attach copies of the post card (front and back) and mail it in.    They are quite familiar with the scum at "Dealers Warranty".  They know that they're a sleazy and fraudulent operation.   Every added complaint helps to get that scum off the face of the earth.

http://ago.mo.gov/consumercomplaint.htm

Might be fun to hit them with a taste of their own medicine, though.  When Alan Ralsky (known as the "spam King") had his information listed online, people harrassed by his sleazy tactics signed him up for every postal mailing campaign on the planet.   Maybe 745 Friedens Rd, Ste 201, St Charles, MO, 63303 needs to start receiving as much garbage as they put out.

Same postcard received in Philadelphia PA.  FINAL NOTICE in huge red block letters.  (888) 963-6723 was phone number listed.  Tossed it.

Have been receiving auto-dialer hangup phone calls on my cell phone from this number over the last two weeks. Reported them to the FCC.

Then yesterday, I received a post card (Mailed from Tampa, FL, Permit # 100) in the snail mail from:

Dealers Warranty
745 Friedens Road, Suite 201
St. Charles, MO 63303
1-888-963-6723

with "FINAL NOTICE", "Factory Warranty Expiration", "Call us immediately with your exact miles and VIN#..." written on it. That's pretty strange as neither of my wife and I two vehicle warranties are set to expire anytime soon.

Also, wouldn't they already have my VIN #'s if in fact they were our actual auto manufacturer? õ_O

After reading the comments here, I think a nice certified snail mail letter to my local State Attorney General's office inquiring about this obvious scam might do some good, as well as sending the same letter to the Postmaster General, as this scammer obviously has a postal bulk mailer permit and is obviously breaking the law.

Cell, not Sell

I don't see that the complaint form would be used just to complain about receiving the postcard if you haven't done or had any contact with these jerks. The form appears to really be used when you've actually had some sort of dealings with someone.

Received same post card today, same markings as Ronin.  They seem to be attempting to scam West Virginia residents now.  We'll forward it to the attorney general.   The scammers will get a Rowan v. USPS statement from me as well.

The scammers are out in force this year.  :-(
