One company was out or Arizona (or so they told me), but now I think they are an Irvine, CA company. They have called me on my cell phone and at my private work line. By the end of the call when I am obviously on to them, they are very quick to hang up. The only company name I can get out of them is \"Warranty Services\". They also said they got my number from \"the dealer\". I normally don\'t get worked up about phone spam, but these guys are relentless and I have now vowed to do whatever I can to bring them down.

So far I have not spoken to a live human, but I can add two things: 1) They do not (necessarily) get your number from \"the dealer,\" since I receive these calls fairly frequently and I have never owned a car in my life. 2) I started receiving them only after giving my cell phone number to Comcast cable. Of course, this could be a coincidence, but I doubt it considering I had never gotten a sales call on this cell phone number in its first four years, and now I get them at least once a month.

I\'ll string them along.... Ask them which car has the warrenty about to expire... Wait, they\'ll stutter and stammer a second. Then I tell them I have a 55 chevy and a 63 Harley.... Usually ends with a quick click on their end. Another good one is tell them they just called a top secret military telephone and that the authorities are automatically listening with a trace.

You\'re right; they are incredibly hard to get information out of. They have definitely been trained. They haven\'t called me in a while, but at the time it was every month or so, and they were forging Caller ID, which got them past Privacy Manager. The same people were pushing some sort of credit card related service, and then they were called \"Account Services\". I haven\'t heard from either in a while, perhaps because I annoyed them enough through stringing them along.

I got so fed up with those calls, that I called the phone company to try track down their number so I could report them.

These are run by a company in Florida. They might be related to the company that calls to tell you that they have important news about your credit card interest rates.

The last time someone called about an extended car warranty was in November of 2008. The caller ID read \"International Gateway\" with the phone number 615-238-2110. The caller had a south Indian accent, and had called several times before with various offers (an online degree, a prize I had won, and several times about an extended warranty). I am very sure it was the same male voice calling me each time. The calls ended after I told him that I was on the do not call list.

Repeatedly following the instructions to be removed from their list doesn\'t work, and with the people I get, they hang up the instant they realize you are not interested in their warranty. If I play along, when I get to a human, the first thing they ask is for the year/make/model of my car. I pointed out that they should know that already, since they knew the car\'s warranty is about to expire, and they hung up. The next time, I played naive and told them about my 1997 Ford Slingshot. Whaddya know, my Slingshot was in their database! And while the salesman couldn\'t provide any new information (due to security reasons), he confirmed that any information I provided was right there already in my file.

It seems like we need to figure out where all of these people (possibly myself included) shopped/gave their info to in say the last 6 months. That would probably lead to whatever company sold our info or had their security breached and isn\'t saying it was. Either that or AT&T has someone on the inside giving out numbers. It\'s all very fishy. There\'s got to be a recurring component in all of this.

I used to get these phone calls weekly and they almost always came from a Nevada or Oklahoma number. Since putting my number on the Do Not Call list they\'ve been reduced to once every one or two months. I\'m wondering if we can think of some innocent sounding questions to ask while pretending to search for information, like \"how\'s the weather\" that could help us triangulate where these people are over time. Or just pretend to be overly friendly and tell them your \"amazing\" skills, like being able to give historical trivia about anywhere or making dumb rhymes with any name.

I worked 4 weeks in Warranty phone sales. Ugh! Most co-workers were ex-inmates. Crew Chiefs were constantly texting drug deals. Company was in office building. Due to complaints, had to hire security guards to keep \"gang looking\" workers from using other floors or public restrooms. Company was a scam. Warranties had major problems. Customer credit card numbers were written on post-its and stuffed into pockets. Even employee pay plan was a rip-off. It took me 4 weeks to figure out and leave.

The call was from Kentucky.I spoke to Nicole in Jayfield, IL. She said the warranty would expire tonight at midnight, so it wad lucky I called (and obviously I had not called, they called me, but I digress). She transferred me to Adam in Irvine, CA. Adam told me that my warranty had expired after 10 years were up, which as I had said I was in a 1999 Honda Accord (??), then he transferred me to Drew the inspector. I answered 4 dumb questions and asked Drew where he was, and then drew hung up on m

I have never had a call from them. However one of my co-workers has a brother who works for them in St. Louis, he says all they do is hang out all day and make tons of money. He\'s never been too specific on any details, and I\'ve always thought that it was a scam/con. He\'s tried to rope me into it, and get me to move down to St. Louis with him, but it sounds too good to be true. This story almost confirms it.

They seem to be hitting me hard up here in Tumwater, Washington. We\'ve had at least one pushy phone call (we are on the no-call list) an LOTS of snail-mail come-ons. Oh those sneaky Car Warranty sales men/women! May their sales pitch into oblivion... =john=
