I'm pretty sure it's affiliated with either Ebay or Pay pal. I got it on a bluetooth phone, but haven't used it yet. My wife busted the glass on the stupid thing, so I'll be trying it out in the next week or so. If I find out how it is, I'll let you know.

It's legit. It's like insurance for your item. Got it on a garmin gpsmap unit.
