Dear Editor:

Theresa国际传媒檚 a new telephone scam.

A woman calls and tells you that your car warranty is running out and itsa国际传媒檚 time to renew.

She asks what model car you have. (She has no clue until you tell her, and logically she should know if she announces that your warranty is ending.)

Then, if you tell her the information, she repeats the brand and model number and again says that your warranty is almost ending. She says that you have over 100,000 kilometres on your odometer and that you need to renew now or you wonsa国际传媒檛 be covered.

You can renew and pay over the phone.

I was suspicious, so I didnsa国际传媒檛 tell her my car type and model, and I knew that my odometer hadnsa国际传媒檛 reached the number she mentioned. So I hung up and called my car dealer.

Yes, itsa国际传媒檚 a scam, so watch out!
