SmartFinancial Insurance LLC is a company based out of Columbus Ohio U.S. They claim to offer insurance quotes on cars and medical insurance. I initially encountered this company when I received an SMS message claiming to offer a “refund” for, something.
Clicking on the link, you are redirected to a number of different domains, some of which I could not confirm if they belonged to SmartFinancial) However, One domain in particular (https://comparetopauto.com/offer/#/car-1-year) Did list SmartFinancial as owning the website.
The problem here is this company is involved in SMS scams. I cannot confirm if they are behind the initial message in question, however they are confirmed to be involved in scummy business practices. Using SMS scam messages in their campaign.
On top of the SMS side, some online reviews have alleged that this company also sends unsolicited phone calls. It’s not uncommon to find companies trying to sell car warrantees to be engaged in such business practices so personally this would not surprise me if these reviews are to be believed.
