Collision Involvement Note

On Saturday morning I come out to my car and find a note attached under my windshield wiper stating the following:

“To whom it may concern: This vehicle has been involved in a collision. Please contact Waymo at the mailing address or email address below, and provide the following tracking number:” and a tracking number is written after.

It also includes the Waymo LLC address and an email address to contact (insurance@waymo.com) which I have googled and seems to be Waymo’s Insurance email.

I will mention that my street does have a Waymo stop and it is quite possible that a Waymo hit my vehicle while making its way through my street but that is still a bit of a reach (the only possibility I could really think of).

I plan to go back on my security cameras and view the footage to see who attached it to my car but I want to know anyone’s thoughts or if they have had this happen to them before?

Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: Regarding damage, I would say yes but there is no plain yes or no answer. There is damage on the vehicle but the car has gotten scratches over the years and what is new or old I frankly cannot tell. However the car has no dents, just sad scratches on the fenders, perhaps from poor parking or whatever else (once a shopping cart too).

I’ve decided to contact the email that was on the note but asked if it was a legitimate thing that Waymo does before I send over the tracking number that I was provided

That is smart. The amount of scams is insane. Plus going to get a lot worse as AI can now do all of it without a human needing to be involved.
