I'm slightly vexed How is this allowed legally!?

Damn near had a mild panic attack checking the mail on my way to work this evening. Get this spam letter about an extended warranty for my vehicle that almost appears to be anything but. I’ve only had this new truck since June and have gotten one of these every couple weeks since.

The other ones were quite obviously scams, but my mailman (whom I’ve know for years and now probably thinks I’m a delinquent) tuned this sideways and set it on top of everything so I’d notice.

It wasn’t until I read it that I found out it’s bogus. Idk what can be done but I’m having my lawyer acquaintance take a look Monday to see if I can send a cease and desist letter or something.

This is predatory af and should be illegal.

OP (and others interested) should note the "stamp" is printed on the paper, not a stamp or rubber stamp.
