I received a solicitation call on my cell phone today at 3:54 pm, Feb. 2/09 and am very upset as this will cost me a long distance call for something I know nothing about.  It had something to do with the warranty on my car which cannot be as I do not own a new car nor have I had a new car for many years.  The number that called me was 949-256-9160

    "Auto Warranty" scams often involve telemarketing or post cards designed to scare consumers into paying for a worthless "auto warranty" using false statements including that some existing warranty is about to expire.  

    As you recognized, they have no idea whether your warranty has expired, or whether you even own a car, yet they will try to appear connected with the dealer or manufacturer to try to deceive consumers into disclosing account information so they can take them for somewhere between $800 to $1500.

    Other complaints here profile them as a telemarketing call center involved in a number of shady schemes, including both "auto warranty" calls, and "lower your credit card rate" calls.

    You have to file complaints with the FCC (www.fcc.gov) and the Do Not Call Registry (www.donotcall.gov) and your Attorney General if possible.  They won't quit just because we post gripes here.  You can do the complaints on you computer.  It's very easy but unless we are diligent with our complaints, we won't get these people to stop.

    Here is one way to fight back. Call their 800 number from a land line (not your cell unless you have unlimited minutes!). Turn on your television, preferably to a sleazy shopping network, set your phone on speaker phone in front of the TV and leave it for as long as their computer will allow you to record a message. Repeat as necessary. I have cost them several hours of long distance charges and will continue until I feel better. FYI, for Automotive Warrantee Solutions of Boca Raton FL, the number is 800-376-5644.
    I have also treated them to several hours of Sunday morning religious programming.
