Car warranty-last chance call

stop calling me

This phone number constantly calls and harasses my Mother and stresses her so much.

I work for a law firm that is investigating Kara Singleton Adams, Jason Eyer, James Schoenholz, and their related companies-Economic Relief Technologies, Saferide Warranty, and VP Marketing.  I should point out that there are many other companies associated with these individuals.  

These guys started in Florida, then moved to Georgia, running a debt reduction telemarketing operation, then an auto warranty business.  They had a robo-dialer that would call victims using "spoofed" numbers so the person receiving the call wouldn't know the origin of the call (or be able to call back).  The victim would get a warning that their car warranty was about to expire or a call that seemed as though it was coming from their credit card company or bank offering to lower interest rates on their credit cards.  The automated voice would then prompt the victim to "press 1" to be connected to a representative.  

It seems like many of you may be complaining about the folks that our firm is investigating.  It also seems like there may be some "insiders" or former employees that are posting on this blog. We believe these people may still be operating under other names, and we are especially interested in finding information about current operations. It would greatly aid our investigation to hear from former employees or insiders that have knowledge of the infrastructure of the businesses or the current operations.  If this describes you, please email me directly at ertinvestigation@yahoo.com  You can remain anonymous.

Telemarketer selling warranty coverage, as if my car warranty is going to expire.  (Totally bogus since I have a 12-month old car, and my last car was a 10-year old used car... although it's true I've only had this phone # for 9 months.)

called at 9:23 am on 4/15/o9

hmmm...these ppl has no life & prolly no job apparently! ha if they think what they are doing is a "job"! i wonder how they are even paying for these calls in the first place? i know they arent making any money since nobody is even picking up their annoying calls to even fall for their scams. (besides shouldnt they be losing money for making all of these long distance phone calls?)

wow that would be cool. thanks for the idea.

LOL adam. i dont think you will ever have to become seeing how much you hate getting these type of calls.

Just got the call from 781-936-4241 looks like it is from boston and I do not even bothered to answer this call. Beaware of these calls and you can delete the voice message without even checking it.

I too received a call from this number, and another of the similar nature( auto warranty) from 502-410-6891. How ARE they getting cell numbers, geez I just got this number a week ago too.

I got a call 2:17 PM Cst on 4/6/09 ...who is this?

got a call from this number today....no message left

I got a call from this number too. Car warrenty, Huh !! I have a 100,000 mile warrenty on my Hyundai Sonata. Includes everything, and the car is only 2 yrs. old. These calls are a scam !!!!!!!

I just received a call from this number it shows up as Kingston, MA on my Vonage Line. They left a message but it was blank.

I have recieved this call from the same number not once not twice but 4 times now! once on April 9th at about 10 minutes to 6 and three times today (April 15th)2:40pm 4:49pm and 5:15pm (eastern standard time) I have never picked up. I never ever pick up a number I don't recognize, if it's important they can leave a message and I'm glad i stick by that philosophy. It's bad enough that they call me at all I can't imagine trying to actually talk to someone. Is there some place official to report these people to? it's just plain annoying

just got it too.

2:44 pm. Another out of warranty call, which is stupid since I am a poor college student and don't own a car. I get so many of these calls, it really annoys me.

this number calls all the time, never leaves a message, it's not even a real person, it's an automated car warranty message.  Please make it stop!

I am in China now, got a phone call from this number. It doesn't make any sense to make an international phone call for the telemarketer. I hate this. don't do this bad thing again. I want to know how did they get people's cell number.

Several calls, no message.

I have gotten spammed by this number many, many times, including just a moment ago.  They claim my warranty is running out, but the factory warranty I have is just fine, more than a year and 30K miles left to go, thanks.

This is likely a scam to get your money or personal information.

Cell phone numbers have gone public to scammers and telemarketers. I called the National Do Not Call list number about a week ago to stop this kind of thing going on but it does take up to 30 days to take effect, at which point I can file a complaint.

Darn skippy I am filing if they call 31 days from now!!!

4:28 on my home phone, then 4:29 on my cell phone...obviously they bought some personal information from someone.

PEOPLE. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!

YOU MAY THINK THAT SOMEONE FROM MASSACHUSETTS IS CALLING YOU.

THEY DID NOT.

SOME VICTIM'S PHONE NUMBER WAS SPOOFED ON A CALLER ID FOR A SCAM COMPANY.

Important message to all those that have received a call from this number:

The company making this call with an auto dialer is a known scam outfit. They spoof phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number 781-936-4241 is just another victim of these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of this company. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, owned by the same people that try to scam innocent victims. One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. They even have scams about dish television, home alarms, and more. Their MO is the same. The use an auto dialer, and call thousands of random numbers. They have no regard to the do not call lists. Your demands or complaints to them are worthless. They will continue to call you.

They will not remove you from their call lists. Why? BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN ANY. THEY ARE CROOKS. THEY HAVE NO REGARD TO THE MANY LAWS THEY BREAK.

If they call about a car warranty, the message says something as "This is the second notice on your extended vehicle warranty. Press one now to speak to a representative..." The message about credit debt mentions "This is Account Services. We are calling to lower your credit card debt. Press one now to speak to a representative..."

Here are the details of these do***ebags:

VP Marketing
1820 Water Place Pkwy
Ste 255
Atlanta GA 30339
678-741-3188
678-741-3189

They also were previously known under a different corporate name, with a different address:
Versadebt Corp.
4501 Circle 75 Parkway
Suite #A-1225
Atlanta GA 30339
678-238-1300
678-238-1349
678-238-1351

Versadebt was voluntarily dissolved in August, 2008.

Here is the first ever media report exposing these crooks! From Fox 5 Atlanta - WAGA, a 6 minute new video that confirms everything:
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/ITeam_Auto_Warranties_032409

According to the report, VP Marketing is owned by Jason Eyer. Here is how you can contact this person, courtesy of public records filed with the Georgia Department of State:
Jason Eyer
1603 Mosaic Way
Smyrna, GA  30080
407-902-1950
407-902-9377

Both companies are listed with the Georgia Department of State. Here is how you can lookup their information:
http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/CSearch.asp

You will find that the "Registered Agent" for VP Marketing is Kelly Lonas, 224 Ripple Creek Drive, Marietta GA 30060. The listed "Member/Manager" is James A. Schoenholz at the 4501 Circle 75 Parkway address.

Versadebt's Registered Agent is the same James A. Schoenholz at the 4501 Circle 75 Parkway address. There is one additional name listed for Versadebt. The listed CEO, CFO, and Secretary is named Marvin Cox, Jr. at the same address.

In fact, Marvin Cox may be an owner of all of these related companies.

Here are some links to prove my research:
Job listings for VP Marketing:
http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobResults.aspx?ncc=^"VP+Marketing"$&cbRecursionCnt=1&cbsid=65cc3191c8ec4200beb8f180570269d1-267407999-RF-4&ns_siteid=ns_us_g_"vp_marketing"_at

Notice the job listings for "Appointment Setter," "Qualification Representative," "Auto Warranty Specialist," and "Financial Representatives." Those are the idiots you get on the phone when you press "1" to speak to a representative after receiving their ILLEGAL recorded phone calls. Also, you can see many other job listings with similar titles.

Interestingly, if you view these help wanted ads, you will notice that their address and phone number are different from what is listed with the Georgia Department of State. They now list 678-741-3188  and 678-741-3189 as the phone number of Human Resources. IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL TO CALL THEM AS THEY LISTED THEIR NUMBER IN A PUBLIC FORUM. Call them to find out more information about this company. You will need this in your complaints to the FCC, FTC, and your state Attorney General.

You can call them to see if they offer Car Warranties or tell them you are interested in a lower interest rate. It is quite humorous to listen to their answers!

Here are some details from RipOff Report. Pay particular attention to these (especially the first link) as ex employees detail how they operate and how their scam works:

You can learn much more about these do***ebags by performing a web search for "versadebt," and "vp marketing," or "heather from account services."

NOW, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? You have two solutions:
1) Speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. Tell them you own a Ferrari, or a 1937 Dodge (however, if you really own one of those two, tell them you own a Buick). Give a made up VIN number. If they ask for your name and phone number, give them the info for the person you hate the most.

Your goal is simple. Keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be friendly. Your goal is twofold. You want to learn as much as possible about them. They will refuse to give you a website, phone number, or maybe even a real company name. They will attempt to give you a generic name such as "Account Services," "Financial Services," or "Dealer Services." This is done for a reason, to throw you and the government off their tracks. Do not accept this. Keep pressing for info. You will need this (see below).

EVEN BETTER IS IF YOU CAN RECORD THE CALL.

Also, the time you take from them means them have less time to steal from someone who is unknowledgeable about their scams. They get paid to rip people off. Take away their time, and they make no money! I have kept them on the phone for up to 20 minutes! I realize that many of you do not have the time. But do you appreciate being taken advantage of?

Ever hear of Scambaiting? That is what you are doing!!! There are many entertaining web sites on this topic. For example, see:

2) YOU MUST REPORT THEM TO THE AUTHORITIES:

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION!
Here is the link to file a complaint: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:
https://donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

You must also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the last link below to see how effective this can be.

I file complaints against Versadebt and VP Marketing every time I receive a call. If everyone that received a call from these low-life scumbags does the same, then the combined action of thousands of us can stop these crooks from scamming innocent people out of money. You may also try to write your congress person.

we keep getting calls from this number, saying that our auto warranty is about to expire.
we just keep hanging up on them, and we are getting really irritated that they keep bothering us.
there should be a way to stop these "scam" phone calls!!!

AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK MYSELF I GET CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER...ON MY DIRECT OFFICE NUMBER AT WORK. I ONLY GIVE THIS NUMBER OUT TO V.I.P'S.

THEY MUST HAVE A COMPUTER DIALING SYSTEM BECAUSE OTHERS IN MY OFFICE CALLS THE SAME DAY

No message left on cell phone

got this call at 4pm on 4/14/09, I (gladly) missed it, googled it and found this.  If I ever work for a telemarketer, please kill me.

I also receive calls from them.  They try to extend the warranty on a vehicle that I DO NOT OWN anymore.  I have asked repeatedly that I be taken off the "list" and somehow, they keep calling me back.  I have entered it into my phone as Telemarketer for Car Warranty.  I just wish they would leave me alone!

did not recognize number, so i didn't pick up call
