REGIONALâDo you know the status of your carâs extended warranty?
Calls warning people itâs their last chance to extend their vehicleâs warranty are surging in NâWest Iowa, but car dealerships warn that these call are likely fraudulent.
âItâs a growing problem,â said Bob Davison, the service manager at Ron Drenkow Motors in Sheldon. âI get so many elderly people and they donât know whatâs going on, so they stop in and see me. Iâve had a few people buy these service contracts.â
Some of these telemarketers are simply trying to trick people into giving up personal information, such as Social Security numbers or bank information. In other cases, the product being offered may be real, but Davison warned that the after-market warranties being sold this way are usually a bad deal and will be expensive and highly restrictive.
