If you do not know, check with your car dealership to see if you already have an existing warranty. If you do have an existing warranty, do you really need another one? Consider how the offer is worded, if it makes sense, and if it is realistic. Research the vehicle warranty on the internet and contact the Better Business Bureau to determine if the company is legitimate. If you suspect fraud, report the vehicle warranty fraud to PhoneBusters. If you are a victim, contact the local police (if applicable) or the local detachment of the RCMP. To report economic crime or suspected financial abuse of any kind, call your local police service.
