Anyone else receiving these phone calls claiming the factory warranty on your vehicle is about to expire? I receive them at home, I receive them on my cell phone and I get them on my work phone. Now they're calling for my 10 year old nephew. :rofl2: WTF?


Damn the scammers.

LOL...I get them all the time too. Never had a warranty, so I just hang up.

Same here. The ones that are really funny are the ones that are for a Church or religious group. I get those on my work phone all the time.

I haven't got any for me yet, but I've been getting them alot at work. I guess they're just worried about our Ambulances. Actually we've been getting automated call us back calls from some "law office" every Sunday for months as well.

I get them all the time, they're pretty aggravating. Especially since they don't apply to me in the least. My truck is an '08 with 10k miles on it :nunchaku:

I've answered a couple times and told them to take me off the list, that none of that applies to me, but of course they keep calling.

Yeah I hear ya, they don't apply to me either. I hate getting these calls after 9 p.m. also. :wall::wall::wall:

I still get aftermarket warranty offers on cars and trucks that I have not owned in years.

Sign of the times maybe?

I been getting these calls too, also for mortgage default protection and other BS. I was hanging up on them, then I tried pushing the "operator" button, but that didn't connect me to a human. If you listen to those messages a little further they say to push "2" to be removed from the call list. I'm doing that on all these calls now. I'll let you know if the calls stop or INCREASE due to this action.

I found that the only way to get rid of these calls is to talk to a human, threaten legal action. if you hang up they just call back.

It's not technically a scam... they do offer extended warranty protection services. Not particularly good services, though.
