I laughed out loud as I read the mail today.
Before me was the most ridiculous post card solicitation. Highlighted on  
the post card were the words FINAL NOTICE.
The notice explained  that the VEHICLE'S FACTORY WARRANTY HAS
EXPIRED, OR MAY EXPIRE SOON DEPENDING ON MY CURRENT MILEAGE.
The card also explained that I MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO 5
ADDITIONAL YEARS OR 125,000 MILES.
Imagine how I felt.  Naturally I'm concerned about the rising costs of
repairs. I'm also concerned about proper maintenance and up keep for
an automobile.
But friends, this must be a SCAM!
My car, now get ready for this is way past the warranty stage. And I have  a really great mechanic, in fact I have 3.  Now are you ready?
MY CAR WAS BUILT IN 1985. I'll repeat that. I drive a 1985 GMC.

    I too have gotten those annoying phone calls. I live in Ontario, Canada and I kept getting these phone calls from Nevada and California. I finnaly one day picked it up, because they would never leave a message and it said my car warrenty will be up soon. My car is under my parents name so i knew something was up. After i looked into it more on google, I realized it was a scam. I called Bell (my cell phone company) and they took my name off theyre call list. Who knows if it'll work tho because Ive had the same calls from multiple numbers. About 4 times a week. the most recent numbers being (909) 842-9108  and (949) 256-9181. Both california numbers. Why dont they sick people just give up!

    I have been recieving this phone calls in Canada about a warranty and I dont or have never owned a car. i put my name on the dont call back thing they have and now ... they call me at the same time and day that i registered every week. So telling them not to call you just lets them know that you have acknowledged them and when you did so that must be the time to call you! this is really getting on my last nerve. Why would telemarketers call cellphones, i cant afford to pay long distance international phone calls from telemarketers

    This is crazy!  they keep calling my cell phone and so i press option 1 to get a live person on the phone.  I then speak to someone and asked to be "removed from the list," I am still getting these calls!

    I have two cell phones and they are calling both lines!  Anyone know what can be done about this?  Im ready to bring a class action lawsuit against these [***] if they don't stop!  -Tj

    I just received a call like this. The phone number was 703-312-6083. I stayed on the line after figuring out it was a scam, and when the guy asked if I wanted to learn more about this opportunity to extend my factory warranty, I said no, but I'd like to have my number removed from their database. I heard him say "just hang it up" and then the call ended-- I think there were multiple people on the line.

    If I call back I either get dead air or a busy signal.

    Lol,  I just got off the phone with those pin heads.  I have been telling them to quit calling me for a couple of years now.  Perhaps we should organize and file a class action law suit for harrassment.  When I asked the girl on the phone the name of the company she advised it was "Warrantee Services"  and that the address was "a regional call center".  She hung up on me when I asked for the mailing address.  This telephone number is:  949-256-9174.  Just once I'd like to find myself in a locked room with these people.

    The Truth
    I scammed one of their call people to talk to me for 2 hours. If everyone they called did that, they would go out of business. Unfortunately, there are suckers that buy this nonsense. They make boatload of money every time someone is suckered into buying their crap, so even if the chances of finding a sucker is one in ten thousand, they have 250000 potential suckers out there too dumb to know better. Suppose you get only $1000 from each sucker, you get yourself a nice $250 million business of suckering people into this nonsense.

    They are shafting as many people as they can, and my guess is, they will just pocket the money and sublimate promptly after they have suckered in enough people. I doubt they have any intentions of actually paying for anyone's car service.

    They are crooks. Even if you leave out their crooked business scheme, calling people's phones like this is a federal crime under Title 47: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/get-c ... =1200&TYPE=TEXT

    2009 tired of warranty calls!!
    I get these calls at home and work and as of yet they have not called my cell.
    My husband, myself and my father-in-law all ended up buying cars last year- all the cars are covered under new warranties- TELL ME WHY AM I GETTING expiration calls so soon? I've tried to get them to take me off the list or at least tell me what vehicle they are calling on and the "warranty caller" just hangs up.  total scam.

    BUT! Be warned- they are now asking for cofirmation of the caller they are talking to and now do ask you to enter the last 5 digits of your social secutiry #. I think the scam is getting bigger.

    I used to get those messages. If you go to donotcall.gov and put your name on that list they should stop calling.

    I also recieved many calls about my car warranty expiring. I didn't even buy my car from a dealership! They called me several times a day. Nothing irritates me more that telemarketers calling non stop!

    I get these frequently on my cell phone too.

    I want to get a nice crash-crash sound--shattered glass and twisted metal.  Then, next time they call...I'll talk to someone and in the middle of it, yell out "OH MY GOD" and play the car-crash sound.

    These freaks deserve a good scare.

    I have been getting these calls for a year - always from different numbers. Yesterday I tried again to speak with someone. When I asked the name of the company and said I wanted to speak with a supervisor, the caller proceeded to rather call me inappropriate names over and over until I finally disconnected. I filed a complaint with the FTC and I recommend all others do the same.

    It's gone from nuissance to foul language abuse.
