866-364-3336
Received an official looking letter in the mail today,
claiming that it was from General Motors (GM).
Came from:
Presorted
Standard Mail
U.S. Postage Paid
St. Louis, MO
Permit No. 1361
On the front, it states:
"REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION - TIME SENSITIVE MATERIAL ENCLOSED - WARNING; $2000 FINE, 5 YEARS IMPRISONMENT, OR BOTH FOR ANY PERSON INTERFERING OR OBSTRUCTING WITH DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER. U.S. MAIL TTT.18 U.S. CODE"
Inside it states:
"CALL 866-364-3336 TO EXTEND YOUR VEHICLE'S COVERAGE"
Amazingly, it has NO mention of which PARTICULAR vehicle they are referring to... Morons.
Reporting this to the BBB of St. Louis, MO, as well as to the U.S. Postal Service Fraud Division. Also, the USPS HAS to release the information on WHO owns Permit No. 1361, if requisitioned in writing and a complaint is filed against said organization, which I WILL be doing.
I HIGHLY suggest that others do EXACTLY the same IMMEDIATELY.
The only way to get a SCAMMER to stop, is to Report them each time.
NEVER just throw Junk/Scam mail away. Research it & Report it.
===========================================
I already went after Dealer Warrenties aka National Dealer Warranenties, et al in St. Louis and so did the Attorney General. :-) Looks like this scum oufit (carsafe) has stepped in to take their place. No worries, I'll pursue again with BBB and AG.

2 customers have more than one phone number. That is the same as "at least one customer has more than one phone number". Therefore, to record the correct customer information you must allow for more than one phone number. If you provide Phone1 and Phone2 fields for two phone numbers you meet the requirement, however you have wasted space for a second phone on all but two customers. If you had provided a second child table for phone numbers you would have all but two customers with one record and the two others would have two records (no wasted space).
