Letter contained the name of a bank lender with which we had a mortgage decades ago. It said that we should immediately contact Home Warranty Department for an expired home warranty update. No business listing and clearly a scam.

I received a notice in the mail that my home warranty was expiring Oct 1st. I do not have any warranty or policies with this company. I called to tell them that they sent a noticed to my address with a wrong Name listed on the notice. The customer service rep said that my policy would expire and that I needed to give my credit card number to renew. I never gave them my name, but they seemed to know it. This flagged the call for me because I knew it had to be a scam. I told them to just take my name and address off their list and to remove the guy's name from my address., he claimed he couldn't and wouldn't do that. I told him that I'd report him to the ScamPulse.com and his response was , go a head they can't do anything to me. So I'm filing a claim against this company. All I have is the letter with no return address, just a phone number.

I received what looks like a paycheck with my lender's name listed on the outside. I opened it and it says 'FINAL NOTICE' along with 'We reserve the right to revoke allocated waiver after 7 days of receiving this notice'. Then they have a fake check at the bottom written out to me for $199.00. I'm asked to call an 800 number to verify my personal information. A quick search of the phone number reveals this is a scam. As a new homeowner, receiving documentation in the mail with my lender's name and exact loan amount is very confusing. It's difficult to tell what is legitimate versus fake.

Sent a letter pretending to be the bank saying I needed to renew my home warranty and to call the number listed on the letter. Did not call as the bank let me know that was not them and that it was a scam going around where they ask people to pay money to update the insurance.

I received a letter with my home address, the make and model of my car along with my vin telling me I needed to renew my extended warranty (my actual one just expired) so I called the number and they tried to sell me an overpriced “warranty” and when I tried to politely decline they yelled at me for 10 minutes trying to scare me into buying the warranty.

They gathered our information after purchasing a home and even got my full name along with mortgage lender info. Tried to get me to buy a home warranty when I already have one. Said my home would not be covered and more ** lies

I received a letter in the mail claiming to be from Quicken Loans Home Warranty Division. The name Amber Lawrence and the phone number 1(877)499-4406 was listed as the number to call. The letter itself was very aggressive in stating that our home warranty is ending and that we need to call to register again before the initial warranty goes away. No identifying information was given for the company other than claiming to be Quicken Loans.

They claimed work for USDA. They wanted to put a warranty on my home. They wanted money upfront for warranty.

Received letter via U.S. Mail indicating that my Home Warranty secured by my Home Mortgage Lender (correct name of lender was listed) has or was about to expire. Letter had no company name, but read Home Warranty Division with Program Director name listed as James Miller & contact number as 1-800-223-9171. It appears to be basically a phishing scam sales letter - misleading at best.

Received the letter saying I immediately needed to call and reactivate a home warranty i never had. Very little information provided from the business. Have received the same letter recurrently. Always says this is my last chance, but I always get another letter.

We recently refinanced our home and have been receiving mail saying "immediate response required" of which I ignored until I got one that said "final notice" so I called to inquire. This "notice" also has an "allocated waiver" in the amout of $199 attached to the bottom.

The gal that I spoke with went through the pricing options available and what is covered by the home warranty that they offer. She then asked if we are over the age of 50, we are, so we qualify for the "senior" discount. I've never been called a "senior" in my life, none the less I was then transferred to her "manager" that applied the "waiver" and discounted pricing.

What really set off red flags for me was how pushy the "manager" was when I told him that I wasn't going forward with any of this until I spoke with my husband. He wanted me to call my husband at work right then and right there and then told me that I would loose the "waiver" because it only applies for the first call. When he finally got it through his head that nothing was going to happen at that very moment the wind really left his sails, so to speak.

As soon as I hung up the phone I called my bank to see if they were aware of any such coverage, they weren't. It wasn't until this point that I realized that this letter has no company name on it, just my lender's name.

Long story short, from this point forward, any of these letters I recieve are going straight in the trash.

Received a letter in the mail about my home warranty expiring. Looked offical and alarming. Technically had my loan information wrong, it used the Credit union associated with the mortgage company.

I received a letter with 2024 Immediate Response Required but addressed to my deceased mother's name that she went by to my house using my original mortgage company used as "lien holder" and addressed stating personal and confidential FINAL NOTICE. Inside was a check for $299 with a property id and stating my mother needed to contact them in regards to a home warranty. My mother never lived at my house and I never had a home warranty so I know this is a scam but wanted to let you guys know to be on the lookout and warn others. My mother passed away in 2021
