Is Dealer Alternative Warranty a Scam?

Dealer Alternative Warranty is a name used in direct-mail vehicle service contract campaigns that consumer complaints describe as designed to suggest a discounted alternative to dealership-sold F&I products. Mailers use language implying familiarity with the consumer's vehicle purchase, including dealer and vehicle details that came from public registration records. Consumer complaints note difficulty identifying the actual company behind the mailer. The name does not correspond to a major licensed VSC administrator.
