Many corporations in North America have been the subject of scams that attempt to defraud customers.

It has come to our attention that a number of unsolicited e-mails have been received by customers in Canada from senders purporting to be from “Honda International Headquarters,” “Honda Canada”, the “Honda Canada Foundation”, or otherwise from Honda. Such e-mails declare that a significant prize or grant has been won or awarded to a customer, and ask for credit card information, cash payments, or other financial information in order to claim the prize.

If you receive an unsolicited e-mail claiming to be from Honda that asks for this kind of personal information, that e-mail is likely fraudulent. If you suspect the email is fraudulent, delete it and do not respond to it.

You should also be very careful of telemarketers. Police are warning about a telephone scam whereby scammers call to offer extended vehicle warranties in an effort to get credit card information from their targets. Customers are advised to check warranty details with their dealer.

Please do not give your personal or credit card information in response to unsolicited calls and e-mails.

From time to time, consumers may also see videos, especially on the internet, which claim to be sponsored by Honda, and which most consumers will find to be in bad taste. Please be assured that these videos are not authentic, and Honda requests that they be ignored.

Thank you for your cooperation
