EXPLAINERWhat is a Insurance / Warranty Marketing?

Insurance and warranty marketing calls attempt to sell you insurance policies, extended warranties, or coverage plans. While some may be legitimate, many are scams designed to collect your information or sell unnecessary coverage at inflated prices.

WATCH FORWarning signs

• Claims your current insurance or warranty is expiring
• Offers "too good to be true" rates or coverage
• Pressure to sign up immediately for a "limited time" offer
• Requests payment information over the phone
• Vague details about what's covered
• Claims to be calling about your existing policy but can't provide details

PROTECTHow to protect yourself

• Never purchase insurance or warranties from unsolicited callers
• Verify any policy expiration claims directly with your current provider
• Research companies independently before making any purchases
• Be wary of high-pressure sales tactics
• Report insurance scams to your state insurance department
