Attention: Beneficiary,

RE: CONFIRMATION OF YOUR FUND TRANSFER:

This is in pursuit of your supposed overdue/outstanding payment; I have the opportunity to explain to you the controversy surrounding your payment, following the change in your bank account.

I am Mr. Godwin Emefiele, Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria. My office monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and Financial institutions in Nigeria concerned with foreign claim payments. I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge funds moving within banks both on the local and  international levels in line with foreign claim settlements.

Really, this fund is still existing in our government, annual report payment schedule on foreign debts as unclaimed and in your favour as the sole beneficiary but it is unfortunate that your Nigerian representative were acting in collaboration with some government official here in Nigeria to divert this money and have made derogatory remarks on your payment file, thereby unlawfully demanding excessive taxes and levies just to frustrate you, and i am sure that this is the reason why this fund has not been transferred to your account.

We are deeply sorry for every inconvenience their actions might have caused you due to their financial incredibility.  It should be noted that, the reason why i am contacting you is to seek clarity if you have mandated one Mr. Edmond Peters from Britain to collect your fund into his Zurich account on your behalf.

Be grateful to God that my monitoring unit in the central bank has saved you, otherwise if we had not contacted you, the impersonator would have happily gone away with your money. However, I am not going to take this easy with them, as i must get the culprits arrested. Now, I want to use this opportunity to warn you to stop further communicating with anybody or office regarding your payment.

We are working around the clock to ensure that your fund is transferred to you as soon as your are able to comply with the provisions of the relevant Nigerian laws and status that governs banking and international fund transfer to a recipient abroad.

All you need to do right now to take back possession of your funds is to re-confirm your receiving bank account details as stated below to facilitate the swift telegraphic wire transfer of your overdue/outstanding fund to your nominated bank account.  This is very important to avoid misdirection of your fund into a wrong account, as we will not be held liable for any misappropriation of fund.

1. Full Name..........................
2. Country.............................
3. Contact Address...............
4. Telephone Number...........
5. Occupation.....................

BANK DETAILS:
[1] Your name:
[2] Account name:
[3] Bank name:
[4] Bank address:
[5] Account number:
[6] Routing number:
[7] Swift code (if any):
[8] Amount expected to be paid

This information’s should reach this office not later than 48hours from the date of the receipt of this mail. As soon as we receive these needed details, we shall proceed with necessary transfer modalities. Please note that you will receive your payment via Telegraphic Transfer [Bank Wire] to your Account. I shall feed you with further modalities as soon as I hear from you.

Waiting for your urgent reply.

I am Barrister Richard Eastman, a legal practitioner, I am the personal attorney to Mr.Joseph Barker who died in a motor accident on the 7th June, 2013, my client, his wife and their only daughter were involved in a car accident along Novissi express Road Togo. All passengers in the vehicle unfortunately lost their lives. Since then , it has been extremely difficult for me to locate any of my clients extended relatives for the claiming of US$8.5 million he deposited in a bank in Togo.

Due to the common fact I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 years now I am seeking your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since it is my obligation to appoint the person of my choice as the next of kin so that the proceeds of his account can be paid to you. On receipt of your positive response, we shall then discuss the sharing ratio and modalities for transfer I have all necessary information and legal documents needed to back you up for claim.
What I require from you is your honest cooperation to enable us see this transaction through.

I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I during and after claiming the fund.

subject: Am Expecting Your Email:

Good day,

My name is Sheikh Salem Ahmed, I worked as manager overseeing the distribution of imported materials to the late Mr. Akihiko Saito, who suffered casualty and died during the Iraq crisis. I am writing this personal letter to request your business cooperation.

This matter is in regards to Mr. Akihiko Saito, Japanese, who was a diplomat and a former member of the French Foreign Legion who worked for Hart Security Ltd., and an oil contractor with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company  [ADNOC]. He was awarded a huge contract by ADNOC for the supply of oil drilling equipment. He received a part of the contract sum as mobilization when the contract award was approved, he executed the contract but when during the final stage he ran into serious trouble with the militants. SEE EXTRACT:    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akihiko_Saito Scroll down to see his profile.

He was subsequently killed on the 9th of May 2005.
I worked for Mr. Akihiko Saito, as a manager overseeing the distribution of imported materials. I am an Oman citizen and was very close to Mr. Akihiko, as I assisted him in communication and others during the process of the contract award. I ensured that a certain balance of the contract payment was secured accordingly and deposited with a private security company in UK. I have the original copies of all the contract documents and I will send them to you for your perusal as soon as you confirm the receipt of this email.

The wife of the late contractor is not in good health and she has given me approval for the process I am about to take. She has guaranteed the process of securing offshore investment in their interest and she does not want the brother of the late contractor to be aware of the deal as all her husbands’ assets are willed to her and her children. This is the primary reason why we have to keep this business confidential. Mr. Hironobu Saito is a brother to Mr. Akihiko Saito but in the late contractors “will”, there is no mention of the name of Mr. Hironobu Saito, rather all assets are willed to Wife of late contractor and her little children.

I want you to assist to secure the above money (The amount will be disclosed when I receive a positive response from you) in a reliable bank account for investment whereas the remaining bulk sum is still been held in Parex bank would be an issue of later discussion since it was deposited with Parex Bank with a specified maturity Date. All the original documents regarding the said contract are in my possession and will be forwarded to you accordingly. A letter of authority would be issued in your favor by the next of kin that would authorize you to receive the Investment Capital.

You shall make immediate arrangement to hold a meeting with me to proceed with claiming the Investment Capital and transferring it to your reliable account through the help of some financial experts in UK. As soon as I receive a response from you, I shall send you the entire contract papers for your perusal. Below is the family’s specification for your consideration: -

1] Investment capital (a large sum in millions) will be communicated.
2] Areas of interest are Real Estates, Industries, Fisheries, Transports and Hotels
3] Shares are subject to negotiations. Take note that this transaction is 100% legitimate and risk free. You shall be compensated for assisting to secure the funds for investment purposes.

Please ensure that this matter is kept strictly confidential.
Thanks for honoring this invitation. Expecting your email

Regards,
Sheikh Salem Ahmed

BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER
BANK OF AFRICAN.
WEST AFRICA.

                    TREAT URGENTLY AND CONFIDENTIAL.
Dear,
How are you,first i will explain my self in brief for you before we proceed.I am the manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) I am writing to Seek your interest over a business , In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $20m US dollars ( twenty million US dollars).

In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer ( MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in July 31st 2000 in a plane crash.

Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless his next of kin or relative applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines but unfortunately we learn t that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim.

It is therefore upon this discovery that I and two other officials in my department now decided to escape with the fund,and as such we vial to make this business proposal to you so that my bank will release the fund into your account as the next of kin to our bank deceased customer for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for claims and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury.
In fact i know the fund will not even go into the bank treasury,but our top bank officials(directors)will only share it among themselves into their accounts.

The Banking law and guideline here in country stipulates that if any customer account or property remains unserviceable or dormant,and unclaimed after five years, the account will be confiscated and transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and origin cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner.

We agree that 30% of this money will be for you as foreign partner,in respect to the provision of a foreign account,and your immense contribution to champion the course of transferring the fund to your account. 10 % will be set aside for expenses incurred by the both party during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

Therefore to enable my bank transfer the fund into your account,i will send to you the text of application which you will send to my bank as next of kin to the deceased customer and that will be when you indicate your interest in the business, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of our bank deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number,
your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted .

Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application.  I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is risk-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required information's will be perfectly made for you to champion the course of the transaction with my bank without any hitch or risk .

You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this letter.
Trusting to hear from you immediately.

Yours sincerely,
NEBOLISA ARAH.
BILL AND EXCHANGE MANAGER(BOA).

I am here by apologizing for the delayed of your $50,000.00 Fifty
Thousand United State Dollars because I travelled out of country since
and have been in Paris-France all this while; I just came back 2 days
ago.

However I asked Mr. Frank Mark about your funds and he told me that
you did not get the fund till this date. I asked him why and he
explained to me that you couldn't be able to pay the required fee
needed to start releasing your payments. I ask him why they requested
such huge amount from you instead of $29 I instructed him before I
traveled.

Right now the only amount you have to send to my (Secretary LUIS OBADI)
is only $29 for the activation of your Western Union VAT File
paper, to entitle you receiving your daily payments till done?
The $29 should be sending to below:

Here is information to send the fee both western union or money gram

Receiver:::LUIS OBADI
Country: Benin Republic
City : Porto Novo
Question:when
Answer: Now
Amount: $29
Mtcn:::
Sender name:

Be advice that after this very $29, therefore will be none payment
from you again than your daily confirming payment of $5,000 till the
whole $50,000.00 is completed.

My word and order to the western union Manager Director is that you
should pay only bet $29 no more no less. Therefore if anybody ask you
for any additional payment after you paying $29, kindly report to me
because the person has cross line of my orders.

Please I'm real sorry for the inconveniences this delayed might cause to you.

Good Day To You:

I do not intend to spoil your day or to put you under duress.

When i arrive in the Benin Parliament in Cotonou and going through all cases of unpaid funds, i found your Consignment Box Clearance File lying on the Foreign Affair Office Desk without any attention and on a thorough scrutiny, i discovered that your Consignment have been abandoned by your delivery agent. Meanwhile, i was made to understand that the Foreign Affair Office have tried to reach you, but no way and they have made several attempts to contact your delivery agent but to no avail.

To my greatest surprise, during my recent routine Re-Checking, i personally discovered that your Consignment Content Declaration Document ( C.C.D.D )stated that your Consignment Contains Personal Effects meanwhile, it contains United States Dollar Cash US$200,000.00,(Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ) which made it impossible for the Consignment to be delivered to you earlier before now.Based on this personal discovery, i am contacting you now to let you know that with my position and power as the secretary of U.S Department Of Homeland Security and now i am presently here in Benin Republic to handle this  matter of all unpaid foreign payment to their respective owners like you, i can assist you to legally clear your Consignment Funds and personally make the shipment to you on my traveling back, but you must agree with the following conditions.Because i have called our office in Washington, Dc from here in Benin, who has been intercepting all your E-Mail Communications, telephone Text/Sms messages & all telephone Calls, with the help of Mtn, Tigo Vodafone And Airtel Network Benin.

Donation from Mrs. Elizabeth Phillip
Bishop [38 rue des martyrs cocody
Abidjan, Ivory Coast.

Dearest one in Christ,

I am from  Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Richead  Phillip, who worked with Kuwait embassy in Ivory Coast for nine years before he died in 2004. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days.

Before his death, both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of  ($ 2.5 million) in the bank here in Abidjan suspense account.

Currently, the fund is still in the bank. Recently, my doctor told me that I have serious sickness which is cancer problem. What disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Knowing my condition I decided to donate this fund to church or those who utilize this money the way I would recommend here. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, to promote the word of God and the effort that the house of God is maintained.

The Bible is for us to understand that blessed is the hand that gives. I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not Christians and I do not want my husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner. That's why I'm taking this decision. I'm not afraid of death, so I know where I'm going. I know that I'm going to be in the bosom of man. Exodus 14 vs 14 says that the lord will fight my case and I hold my peace.

I do not need a telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives around me always and I do not want them to know about this development. In God all things are possible. As soon as I get an answer I will give you contact of the bank here in Abidjan. I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shepherd. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy Christian. Whoever wants to serve the lord must serve him in spirit and in truth. Always praying for their whole lives.

Reply me for more information's, in your reply will give me room in sourcing another church or person for the same purpose. Let me assure you that they will act accordingly as specified. Hope to get an answer.

Send me the following information, as per below.

Your full name ..........
Address ...........
Age ...............

 Still blessed in you.
Yours in Christ,
Sister Elizabeth Phillip.

situation will not be complicated.

I count on your goodwill and especially on the proper use of these funds.

BUYER BEWARE! Consumer Alert Regarding Extended Vehicle Warranty Coverage offers. Make sure you are informed before agreeing to ANY offer!

I'm sure some of you have received some of these offers either through the mail or through cold-calling telemarketers (probably robo-calls).  You know the ones I mean.  The ones that are generic but very important looking telling you that your vehicle's warranty is about to expire and you need to hurry up and call them for extended coverage.  Most of these letters are very vague and can be very deceiving to someone who may not be informed.

I've heard of these schemes here and there, but have never received one myself, until yesterday, when I received a notice from Safeguard Auto (although I had to call them to find out what company sent the notice).  I guess this time they mailed it to the wrong person, given the blog I keep in my spare time.  Although these schemes are not outright scams, I gotta tell you, they are very very deceptive to say the least.  There are numerous warnings and complaints via the BBB boards I just read through and I had to do a lot of digging to find out more information.

The article I'm writing here today is ONLY MY opinion of this company! This is simply my experience with Safeguard Auto and my personal review of the company.

So, about 3/4 months ago I purchased a new 2016 vehicle.  Yes, I have plenty of warranty coverage with my new vehicle and am very pleased with what I have.  Yesterday, July 26, 2016, I received an official-looking notice in the mail.  This is the envelope I received:





As you can see, very plain but the "IMPORTANT NOTICE" and the US Code mention on the envelope makes it appear as though this is a very important communication.  After some research, I did look up the TITLE 18 SEC. 1702 - US CODE they point out in an effort for legitimacy.  And it's actually the Obstruction of correspondence US Code:
TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 1702. Obstruction of correspondence

Whoever takes any letter, postal card, or package out of any post office or any authorized depository for mail matter, or from any letter or mail carrier, or which has been in any post office or authorized depository, or in the custody of any letter or mail carrier, before it has been delivered to the person to whom it was directed, with design to obstruct the correspondence, or to pry into the business or secrets of another, or opens, secretes, embezzles, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 778; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(I), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)
HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 317 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, § 194, 35 Stat. 1125; Feb. 25, 1925, ch. 318, 43 Stat. 977; Aug. 26, 1935, ch. 693, 49 Stat. 867; Aug. 7, 1939, ch. 557, 53 Stat. 1256). Section 317 of said title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was incorporated in this and section 1708 of this title. Minor changes were made in phraseology.
AMENDMENTS
1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted ‘‘fined under this title’’ for ‘‘fined not more than $2,000’’.

In layman terms - it's the "do not tamper with mail" code which most every American is fully aware of, and means nothing more important than that.

So anyway, I opened the letter.  It was a pretty pink stationary with a very official looking seal in the upper left that at first glance looks very similar to the torch in the BBB logo that you might see on legitimate BBB correspondence.  A closer look, you can see a difference but it's pretty darn close. The seal has the text: "Department of Warranty Services National VSC Program".

This is a scan of the letter, what is YOUR opinion?




Let me just point out a few things about this letter that makes it a deceptive advertisement.

First of all, their company name, Safeguard Auto, is not mentioned anywhere on the letter! Not even in the very fine print at the bottom of the letter.  This is deceptive!
Instead of giving the consumer the opportunity to research their company name PRIOR to calling the 800 number on the letter, they have kept the consumer in the dark as to their identity which basically makes an uninformed consumer have to call them if they want any information at all (which I did do in this case).

Secondly, there is no disclaimer anywhere to make the consumer aware that this company is not affiliated with any dealership, car manufacturer or automotive group at all.
How is this important?  Because it misleads the average consumer into thinking that this letter came from a company that may be affiliated with the company or group they purchased the vehicle from.  Again, an uninformed consumer would have to call to find that out.

Third point being that nowhere in the letter do they disclose that they are a third-party provider of the warranty mentioned in the letter.
This leads the consumer into assuming that the warranty they may be purchasing is written by Safeguard Auto, when in fact it could be a warranty through any company Safeguard Auto chooses (or claims to represent).  And in fact, if you read through some of the complaints against said company, you will see where Safeguard had told customers that their claims were denied not by them, but by the actual company that wrote the warranty and that Safeguard was just the "middleman".

Fourth point is the fake urgency of the letter.
As you can see, there are bold statements throughout the letter that leads a consumer to believe that they must call and sign up right away at the risk of losing any coverage they may have.  It also lessens the time a consumer my have to properly research.  Companies like Safeguard count on just that!

The website on the letter also is a fifth red flag for me.
I looked up the domain autoexpiration.com to see who it is registered to since there is no company name anywhere on the letter.  It is a one-year only privacy registered domain.  In the web world- this means that the company doesn't plan on the website being around more than a year.  HUGE red flag for anyone familiar  with how the web works.  I also went to the website (was a specific URL on my letter) and got to a landing page where it asks for the coverage ID.  I didn't put that in.  Instead, I viewed the source code and found that the webpage is actually framing a page from an entirely different website. 

This is where the autoexpiration.com link took me (the framed part is highlighted in yellow):





This was in the source code:
<iframe id="scontent" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0" src="https://expresslandingpages.com/Default.aspx?url=<removed to protect identity>&amp;t=010&amp;ref=na&amp;fo=&amp;infousaid=&amp;merchID=&amp;p5="></iframe>

So - why wouldn't Safeguard Auto just take you to their website? Why would any legitimate company go through such lengths to protect their identity?  In order to FORCE a consumer to call one of their high-pressure sales people and get to the consumer's wallet.  That's why.

So - what did I do?  I called them, blocking my number of course because I am on the National Do Not Call Registry myself.  I have a transcript of the call that I won't post here, but here are some of the highlights from the phone call.

After the typical "your call is being recorded" recordings and a sales rep answered, I asked them what this letter was about because I just bought the car and have a warranty through the dealer. I did tell her I was confused as to why we got the letter.

She asked for the Coverage ID from the letter, which I gave her.

She then asked if I purchased a warranty when I bought the vehicle.  I said that I did and that I'm sure I paid extra for the extended warranty.

She said (and I quote) "There's a 3-year/36 on there from the manufacturer unless you purchased additional coverage for a couple thousand dollars."

I told her I thought I did and she said (again, I'm quoting her) "Ok, you would have paperwork on that and you would know that you paid multiple thousand dollars on top of your car payment."

I told her that we did pay extra so I didn't understand why they sent us a letter.

Her response, and again, I'm quoting:
"A lot of people don't take coverage out through their dealership because they give you a lower level and they overcharge you for it. So technically we're the ones that set up extended coverage."

I did ask things like, "Are you part of the dealership" and she did say that they're not.  I asked if I needed this coverage and she did tell me I do if I want a warranty.  I also asked if this is in addition to what I currently have and she said I would cancel my current coverage and take theirs.  And she also made sure to inform me that my extended warranty is through my dealership, NOT my car manufacturer and that my car was manufactured in Mexico.  What that has to do with my warranty, I will never know.

I just asked her to remove me from her mailing list and she made sure to warn me that there are many other companies selling the same thing so she wanted me to know I'll still be receiving letters but that it won't be from them. Laughable.  And this was just a couple of minutes on the phone with them before I ended the call.  Can you imagine what it must be like for someone who may not know better and being kept on the phone for upwards of 10/15 minutes as some of the complaints have stated? WOW!

I honestly debated about whether or not to write an article on this letter.  I mean, I could have just simply thrown it away, but that's not who I am.  I did Google the phone number and PO Box on the letter and there was nothing - nada - zip - on who this letter came from.  BUT - when I googled one of the phrases from the letter, it did pull up an interesting article from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in Wisconsin warning of these exact types of warranties and companies. The article can be found here:

http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/pi/cryptic-vehicle-warranty-notices-confuse-consumers-b99295944z1-265148631.html

It was very informative to say the least.  So, I decided I would go ahead and write an article on the letter I received in an effort to educate uninformed consumers on what these are.  After all, my blog is meant to warn people, isn't it?  And just in the case that someone else is Googling the information from a letter they may have received, I thought I'd better include the content of the letter so that it is searchable, too.  I will also be reporting this to my state's department of ATC so that they have the latest contact information being used by these companies.  But something tells me, the ATC already has it because I have a feeling this is all from the same people using different names. I found two different companies by this name at the BBB, and through my research found that Safeguard Auto is part of Marathon Administrative Company.

Anyway - this is the letter I received in it's entirety.

Anyway, sorry for the long article, but I do hope that it will help prevent people from losing their hard-earned dollars to companies such as Safeguard Auto and any other ones out there.  I mean, from what I've read, warranties like this are hardly EVER honored.  Before agreeing to take an extended warranty outside of your dealership - DO YOUR HOMEWORK!  Read the fine print, ask the questions, record the call if you have to (check your local state laws about recording before doing it).  Be an informed consumer before giving in to a high-pressure sales call!

If you do get an unsolicited letter, I would recommend:
1) Inform the dealership where you purchased your car so that they can make their customers aware of these

2) Call your state's Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection agency to report it.

3) File a complaint/review with the Better Business Bureau if you can just to let other consumers know what your experience was.

Do your part as a consumer to help other consumers!
