Let me ask you this, have you ever been scammed?
I like to think I’m pretty quick to identify a scam when I see one.
If I get a text from a random number with a link, pass.
If I get an email saying there’s a small fortune waiting me in exchange for my banks routing number to send the money to, pass.
And if I get a phone call from someone claiming to be the IRS, definite pass.

There was one time where I got sucked into a clean energy scam, where I was told my electric bill would go down while supporting green initiatives, turns out though they increased the rates after a month and my bill rose by about 300 dollars.
Unfortunately, scams and scammers are just a part of life now adays so it’s pretty important to identify one when you see one.
Some scams are just annoying, but easy enough to avoid, and those are the phone calls about your cars warranty.

You know the one.
The random number that calls you, with the automated voice stating ‘we’ve been trying to reach you about your vehicles warranty’.
It’s pretty aggravating blocking number after number just to have them call you again.
The other day I got a letter in the mail in regards to my vehicle.
I panicked for a minute; I just finished transferring my license, registration, and plates to New Jersey.
What did I forget to do?
Here’s an excerpt from the letter
