Are you getting these stupid warranty phone calls?

Every two days I get the same shit. I ask to be removed. They don't.

I guess these scammers actually make money!!

I got them for the first couple weeks after I opened my mobile phone account. They seem to have stopped... at least for now.

Next time they call I'm gonna fuck with them. I'm gonna tell them I have a big wheel. Maybe a tricycle.


I drive a magic carpet and I live in a bottle. I was mad for a while and I have cursed them out. Now I think I'll just fuck with them.

I get those calls a lot on my home phone. "We have some important news about your car warranty." Motherfuckers, I drive a 2000 Plymouth Neon!!!! What dumbfuck would have a warranty on that still? And I get another call on my cell phone that goes "We have an important message concerning your credit card. This is your last chance to lower your interest rate." It's my last chance yet you call me every week!

the news story says they won't stop. you may think that you are requesting to be taken off the list, but it's actually dozens of companies doing the same thing.

I wish I had the influence to get through to the FCC and the FTC. But they've disguised themselves so well.

Fuckers

My 80 year old aunt who lives with us and has her own land line get's these all the time...and she doesn't even have a car. She also get's the "through this special offer you can lower your mortgage payment" she doesn't own her own home. Idiots.

Yes, but instead of hanging up; I make them waste their time explaining the details. When they are done, I say: Opps, I got my cars mixed up...not my model.

I always ask "which one of my cars are you referring to?" and they never know how to answer that. falloff
