If you have received such a letter, which included information about a vehicle that you own, or have owned in the past few years, that includes the actual make.model and year of your vehicle, please send me a copy of the letter. I am gathering info at this time for research only to outline all the companies doing this, and the states in which they have sent letters.

All information and discussions shall remain confidential. I have been posting this info for general info and as an Attorney advertisement.

In order for you to understand my interest/work, and to provide material for you to understand issues involved in these matters, I have included materials for your review below. I note though that most data obtained to use for the mailers by these companies are obtained from legal sources.

Wright to your attorney General I am!They  took me for 1,327.02 no more. Had just lost my husband of 36 years and half of our income. I was scared of my van would brake down and wouldn't have the money to fix it . The only thing Virgil and I never got paid off  was our home. Still owe 42,000.00 not much I live on 763.02 I had cancer four times can't  work I raised Virgil's children [4]I was only 24 the oldest was14. Sorry so long I tried  to get help from Dr. Phil and Oprah that a laugh.

I had just lost my husband of 36 years when I received this. Paid 111.38 for 4 months then 98.87 for 8 months now down to 90.54 because I called the lost half of my income.

So, after a little digging around, I found additional information about these scammers that keep sending me spam mail about my vehicle service contract with no return address and just the phone number 1-800-335-1522. Turns out these mailings are coming from a giant shell corporation scheme (countless associated phone numbers, doing business as names, etc.) with a large history of fraud and abuse.

I sent Dma the $1.00.  I found out this company is likely purchasing lists from your vehicle insurance company.  I believe Dma only polices companies that are registered with them.  Why do I know this?  The way my name is listed on their address label, my insurance company is the only source that prints my name as it appears.  So I called my insurance company's main office, they confirmed new or recent purchases are often sold in lists. I asked that they stop selling my name or information, received a letter confirming such.  Now this outfit is the only mail of this type I receive.

I just retired after 41-years in the automotive industry.  Majority with 3 major manufacturers. This company has and is a thorn in my side for many years. I even had a customer attempt to sue the manufacturer & their retailer concerning the scam this outfit continues to play. Fortunately, the judge recognized neither the manufacturer or the retailer were involved or at fault. Unfortunately the customer was out their money and held a worthless piece of paper.  I was able to extend goodwill to the customer for 80% of their repair cost and I was pleased the owner (still within the time, out by mileage a good bit) decided to purchase the extended service contract offered by the manufacturer.  Bottom line today - if you did not ask for information the mail, email or phone call is most likely a scam.

Independent service contracts are hard to acquire benefit or reimbursement. I STRONGLY suggest if you have the need for an extended service or maintenance contract contact the manufacturer of your vehicle/product. They will be there to help and already have an arrangement with your vehicle retailer's service department so reimbursement is much easier. In short the manufacturer will stand behind their extended contract, why?  They want you to come back for future business.

"In my case, I received mail from these scammers and the postal permit is from the Ft. Lauderdale, FL post office. Permit # 2257."

Same here (VA, 3/2013).  You can read the phone number by holding the paper up to bright sunlight or strong indoor light.  It says: "2nd attempt" (with no first attempt received).  It also has the warning $2000 fine blah blah in order to get the receiver's attention.

It appears they collect money from "suckers" for a car warranty and then they never pay out when you have a 'covered problem'.  More suckers must be paying for a fake warranty in order to pay for them to continue to mail these fraudulent mail pieces out.

Will it ever stop?  The post office is trying to cover a budget shortfall so they may not care either way what's in the mailing as long as that party is paying the postage bill.

Since they seem persistent the best approach is to form a coalition of shafted users and file a class action lawsuit against this company and it's principals.  This might require a website to collect the names of those suckers who have been shafted as a first step.

There was tv huckster who flim-flammed people for years until  a district attorney finally caught up with him in a class action lawsuit.  Faced with decades in jail for fraud - he comitted suicide.  He was quite famous for awhile too.

It's all fun until the posse catches up with you.

CALL THE POST OFFICE AND ASK FOR THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE U.S. POST OFFICE POSTAL INSPECTORS. CALL THE POSTAL INSPECTORS AND REPORT THIS SCAMMER TO THEM.
THEY WILL WANT THE MAIL YOU RECEIVED FROM THE SCAMMERS SENT TO THEM.
MAKE A COPY OF FRONT AND BACK OF THE MAIL FOR YOU RECORDS THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THE SCAMMERS. THEN MAIL THE ORIGINAL TO THE POSTAL INSPECTORS  LIKE THEY WILL REQUEST YOU TO DO.
THE SCAMMERS ARE OPERATING THRU THE U.S. MAIL. --> CALL THE POSTAL INSPECTORS AND REPORT THE MATTER.

You can obtain the name of the company from the post office. Make a copy of the mail solicitation they sent
you and write a letter to the post master at the post office and zipcode on the preprinted postage area on the mail solicitation they sent you.  Put in your letter that you received mail from a commercial business that has a U.S. Postage Permit at their post office and you need the owner / registered person's name , address, etc. that opened the business [postage permit. It being a commercial business , the post office is required to tell you the owner of the postal permit, physical address, phone number, etc.

In my case, I received mail from these scammers and the postal permit is from the Ft. Lauderdale, FL
post office. Permit # 2257.
I will be sending a letter to the Ft. Lauderdale post office with a copy of the junk mail I received and ask for
the info on the permit that was used as postage to send the junk to me. I then will call then have their info to file official complaints to the FTC. and Postal Inspectors.

united auto defense. all the same info given. phone 1-800-272-1512 & 1-800-267-9566.  I called when I got the first bs notice & asked to be removed as I do not own the car they have listed. The loser asked what I haf now so I made up a make & model with unknown miles & unknown style of car. I now get 2nd notices of this made up car!! The loser I talked to today "Jack" tried to give me some bs story that I was wasting my time attempting to get any address to mail their garbage back to & their marketing wouldve obtained my car info - again that I made up in the first call. I told him to F off and hung up on the minimum wage paid loser. HE CALLED ME BACK leaving a 51 second voice mail!! I deleted without even bothering. LOSERS! Im positive Toyota sold my info years ago on the car that has long been gone.

This crap must be stopped. My vehicle warranty ran out eight years ago, yet they keep sending me notices that its about to expire, You better burn these notices and vist them @Suite 20 Lake Street, St Louis Mo. with a large baseball bat maybe then they will get the answer. #@!&*^

Actually it is a valid code. See http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1702?quicktabs_8=1#quicktabs-8
but is about stealing mail from a post office. But they do try to trick you into thinking that it "official" mail.

I got the same thing and I'm gonna figure out a way to get my money back.

They do not have a Company name on the Mail Form. They claim to be Vehicle Assistance Extended Automoble Coverage Company.
The Phone number is: 1-800-785-3128

The posted stamp shows it cam from: Ft. Lauderdale Fl.

am on all national do not mail lists.  rec'd 2nd attempt mail using Ft. Lauderdale, FL permit. No company name stated, just this phone number.

Anyone who works with U.S. codes would take notice that there is no section/sub-section of code referenced on the front of this piece of mail.  This is a tipping point as to this being a fraudulent piece of work.   I'll do what I can to get this "company" reported.

DO NOT call or reply by phone or respond to this number in any capacity. You may have also received by postal mail an 'official' looking perforated mailer requesting an extended warranty transfer. This is a scam. DO NOT REPLY.

Outside of 'perforation sealed' type mailer may contain the following information:

2nd ATTEMPT
Request for immediate action - time sensitive material enclosed
Warning: $2,000 fine, 5 years imprrisonment, or both for any person interferring or obstructing with delivery of this letter US Mail. TTT.18 U.S. Code

EXCUSE ME!! This company should incur the fine and imprisonment for SCAMMING!!

Hit 'em where it really hurts - fill out a form PS1500, attach the opened mailer and take it to your post office.

High pressure from salesman "Naviss".  This number appeared on mailed "Vehicle Assistance - Extended Warranty" offer.  Mail did not state name of company but they said they were associated with Marathon Administrator.

we want this to stop

This warranty fraud is affiliated with Delta Outsource Group, Inc., Debt Collector, 1000 Lake St. Louis Blvd. Suite 20, Lake St.,St Louis MO 63367.  The other address is P.O. Box 1210 ,O'Fallon, MO USA 63366.  
Other numbers :  800-785-3128, (816)278-1290, (971)217-9515.
This possibly could be why people who have paid for the alleged coverage never received the services when repairs were needed.
