It has come to our attention that fraudulent direct mail marketing offers are being circulated to the public using the Budget logo without our permission. Some of these mailings also include the logos of various airlines. All are intended to mislead the recipient to believe that there is some connection between the sender, Budget, and often a particular airline.
These illegitimate offers usually arrive in an official-looking self-sealing envelope. They often purport to include roundtrip airfares and include a facsimile of a boarding pass on which the recipient's name appears. They invite the recipient to call an "800" number to redeem the tickets. They also purport to include a Budget rental. The return mailing addresses are those of various senders, among which is "World Wide Travel of Blue Springs, Maryland." Others are in Missouri and other states.
Be assured, Budget is not affiliated with any of the senders of these promotions, nor does it endorse or sponsor these offers. In such cases, the use of our logo and trademark is without our permission and in violation of our trademark rights. Our Legal Department continues to address this important matter.
If you receive an envelope that appears to include such an offer from Budget, but which you suspect to be fraudulent, please forward the entire envelope and its contents to Budget Rent A Car System, Inc., 6 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, NJ 07054 ATTN: Legal Department.
