that the factory warranty on your vehicle is about to expire."

OMG... this is the spam call that I've been getting from different phone numbers for the last 6 months!

I got the first in February right after I got this phone number and thought it was maybe for someone who had this number previously. But as it has continued from various numbers, I realized it's just stupid marketing. Arrrrrgggghhhh!!!!

Anyone else getting this isht? Or other stupid calls?

Yeah, I get that a lot on my cell phone. It's annoying as hell.

I DON'T OWN A FRICKING CAR!!!!!

i used to get that call all the time and i didn't even own a car.

JasmineFire said:

wait a minute.. are you me?

madartista said:

I don't own a car either. Which is probably what they're hoping for, because they just want you to call the number, and you're probably more likely to do that if you don't have a car.

Efan said:

except... when I have stayed on the line, I ask them to take off my number and they say ok. if i call the number back, it doesn't ring, just disconnects. I think this racket is to make a car owner think they need to "extend" their warranty before it expires, when they are actually selling you a whole new one. Probably a bunch of elderly victims. I hate telemarketers!!!

JasmineFire said:

it could explain a lot. maybe.

madartista said:

Oh. Maybe. I never called it. I just assumed it was either a number that sounds like it's toll-free but isn't or a scam to get you to reveal your SS# or something.

What happened to your Saab? or was it a rental?

ArielB said:

totalled it in an accident 2 years ago, and haven't owned a car since. ahh, I miss Benjamin Armando Saab. nothing compares...

yeah, my aunt (who has her own private line in my home) receives that all the time, she has never driven a car a day in her life.

My wife gets the postcards all the time. She almost fell for it, too. Bastards!

I got the same exact call today.

Someone woke me up with a chainsaw.

Now I want a cookie.

madartista said:

Bastards! and why are YOU up?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

haha... i just wrote it on the other thread... having an impromptu evening of Panic at the Disco and My Chemical Romance dvd viewings at my house. oh, and vodka. and vicodin. eek!

for the 1st 8 months after we bought a new 2008 ( in 2007 )

I was like WTF ? that isn't even possible yet

I get this damn call at work! for me and most of the other people I answer the phone for.

madartista said:

I love how they just KNOW. Like Miss Cleo or something!

I've gotten those calls too at all my numbers. Confused the heck out of me, til I called them back and found out they didn't even know what kind of car I had.

superspaceboy said:

maybe they could sell me one for the car I will one day have?

I moved 5 months ago and got a new phone number.

Although the phone company said I was ex-directory I keep getting these damn calls. Where did they get my number?
