Unknown Car Warranty company trying to sell us a useless extension to our car's manufacture's warranty. They were very evasive and tried to make it appear as if they represented either the auto maker or the dealership where the car was purchased. Finally got them to admit they were affiliated with neither. Later when reviewing our phone bill there was a 16 second call listed as having been made to them by us. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. -- WTF?
How did they manage to do that? Did they somehow manage to reverse the charges on the call. We never called them they called us.

All it said was Michigan. I didn't pick up. The way I see it, if I haven't given you my number, I don't know you, don't do business with you and don't want to be contacted by you.

I got a call from this number on  my cell phone but didn't answer it so it
went to missed calls. THANKS FOR REPORTING THIS AS A TELEMARKETING
SCAM.  Hey, I don't want to pay 10 cents a minute to listen to a pitch for my
presumed desire to "extend the warranty" on my 1998 model car.

I blocked this number.

Vince

got a call from this number no name i dont call back any one who dont leave name and number

I get random numbers calling me all the time.  I figured this was the "your car insurance is expiring" robo-call, but they keep calling over and over again.  I'm getting just sick of  the car insurance people, but especially this number, whoever/whatever it is.  I only have 300 minutes a month with my plan, and ever minute counts...those b*****ds crooks..

They may be using robo calling, but they first called my work number, then my Google Voice number and then my cell number and finally my home.  It must be a smart robo dialer.

Got a call to my cell from this number a bit ago too. I didn't pick up of course since I was in the middle of work. .
Thought it might be a bud of mine from Michigan, but she's too busy/too nice to call randomly. Decided to google just in case and lo and behold!

Either way, don't pick up random numbers unless you can "scambait" as Jack detailed in his comment.

This # just called my personal cell phone. I didn't answer and the voicemail left was only 2 seconds of buzzing.

KICK ROCKS, robo calls!

Jack, you are right on and have done excellent research. Thanks.

They keep calling my uc police phone number and I play along with them and record it.  Not much more you can do as many of these "people" are operating out of Nigeria or the Ukraine.  You can just answer "state police" and when they question you, ask them what division do they want, i.e. homicide, narcotics, burglary . . .

So many people are vulerable to scams,  We had two elderly people in OKC scammed out of over $10,000 yesterday in the parking lot of a bank.  Nothing they can do about it.  Have grainey photos of the two but not enough to identify.

Received a email yesterday on my police email said he was going to send me 7.5 million. I gave him the office address.  Will see who shows up at the police department with the check. I've got  nice "bracelets" for them and reservations at the county jail.

Just keep educating people about these scum bags. Thanks to all who have reported and commented on this.

Just received this call.  The caller ID was the same as the number, 586-231-3724.  We often get "automobile warranty" calls, as well as letters in the mail on the same topic, so this may be the same thing; or, perhaps, the more nefarious things listed by other posters.

*adjusts your tin foil strap and hat*

uhh-huh....So, we keep them on the phone longer and they can access more information? Anyone hear of call tracing for your address or location?

Your proposal is the most transparent, idiotic suggestion I have seen!

Bottom line? Somply don't answer ANY call if you don't recognize the number. If it is a true emergency from someone you knnow, they will call you...back to back...multiple times. Sheesh!

Second notice about the factory warranty on the vehicle expiring.  Two issues:
1. What happened to the first notice?
2. I DON'T EVEN OWN A VEHICLE!

1:01pm, Weds. 9 Oct. 2013

Got a call from this number.  Did not pick up.  Mi phone ID showed Mount Clemens, MI as call origination.  Is there a way to make them stop?

PEOPLE. PLEASE READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!

YOU MAY THINK THAT SOMEONE IS CALLING YOUR SPECIFIC PHONE NUMBER.

THEY DID NOT. THEY DID NOT CALL YOUR NUMBER SPECIFICALLY.

YOU WERE RANDOMLY "ROBO" CALLED WITH A SPOOFED PHONE NUMBER ON A CALLER ID FOR A SCAM COMPANY.

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

There are several companies engaged in scam business using auto dialers. They are ALL scam outfits. They spoof phone numbers of victims all the time. Sometimes, they spoof non-working phone numbers. The phone number you searched for is just another victim of these scumbags. I've done a lot of research of these companies. Actually, there are several affiliated companies, that try to scam innocent victims. They are either owned by the same people, or they sell their business model to other crooks.

One scam is about auto warranties. The other is about credit card debt relief. They even have scams about dish television, home alarms, carpet cleaning, political surveys, free cruises, 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.

BEING ROBO CALLED BY A COMPUTER IS A FEDERAL CRIME. NEED WE SAY MORE?

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..." or "The is an important call from your cardmember services. This is your Final Notice. We have been trying to contact you?." The message about carpet cleaning begins "This is Diane, would like your carpet professionally steamed cleaned?"

These crooks can be beaten! Here is an example of what happens if ALL OF US contribute to taking them down by following the steps below:
http://www.justice.gov/usao/gan/press/2012/02-09-12.html

So, now you want to get these crooks. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? If you want to stop these crooks do the following:
:
1) You need to speak to one of their customer service representatives. Pretend to be interested in either lowering your credit card interest rate or a car warranty, having your carpets cleaned, etc. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY REAL INFORMATION. Do not ask how they "got" you number. (Remember, your number was randomly  dialed by a computer)

Tell them you have $20,000 in credit card debt. Give them a fake credit card number, a fake name, and a fake SS#. If the call is about the auto warranty scam, 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. Or tell them you have 15 rooms of beautiful plush wall to wall carpet. If they ask for your name and phone number, give them the info for the person you hate the most.

Your goal is simple. You want to engage them in friendly conversation to keep them on the phone for as long as possible. Be nice and 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 during casual conversation. You will need this (see below). Often when pressed for questions, they will hang up on you. Remember, they are instructed to do this. That is why you must not be confrontational. Be friendly and act as if you are genuinely interested.

Get the name of the company, and if you can, the city where they are located. Most of these scam companies are either in Florida, or in the Atlanta, Georgia area.

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:
http://www.419eater.com.


2) Get the details of these scumbags and post it on this and every other website you can find. Use only the information you get from talking from their representatives and information you get from public sources. DO NOT POST THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE PERSON THAT OWNS THE PHONE NUMBER ON YOUR CALLER ID. Their numbers were spoofed and they are victims.


3) 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 can also file a report with the Attorney General of your state. See the links below to see how effective this can be.

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.

Let me tell you how I helped defeat a former scam company. Versadebt, that changed its name to VP Marketing, was scamming victims for years. I found the name of their company through conversation with one of their stupid representatives. And not only did I report them to the FCC and FTC each time, I also posted their contact information on the internet to make it easier for everyone to report.

Here is a story from Fox 5 Atlanta - WAGA that tells how WE took down VP Marketing, just one scam operation. Over 100,000 complaints were received by the FTC:
http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/i-team:-vp-marketing-sued-021710

If you get the name of the company,  here is how you can find their information if located in Georgia, with the search engine of the Georgia Department of State:
http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/CSearch.asp

For example looking up VP Marketing, the former scam outfit, we see that it is owned by Jason Eyer, the dirt bag shown in the Fox 5 video. 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

And here is the most satisfying evidence of how we can defeat and destroy these scumbag scammers:

http://www.justice.gov/usao/gan/press/2011/11-07-11.html


Remember:

1) Be friendly and pretend to be interested
2) Try to get the name of the company
3) Research the name of the company using public records
4) Post the name of the company everywhere on the internet
4) Report them to the FCC, the FTC, and the state Attorney General's office

No one "got" your number. These crooks use robo dialers that call numbers either randomally or sequentially.

So if your number is 555-1212, they also called 555-1211, 555-1213, etc.

I  got a phone call at work from 586-231-3724. Did not recognize the number, so did not answer.

Robo call about vehicle warranty.  Press 1 if you purchased your vehicle between 2005-2012 Press 2 for no.  Scam/Spam call.

SPAM!!!!

Keep getting these automated calls at my office.  Tells me the warranty on my car is expiring.  #1, no it isn't.  #2, I never give that number on personal information.  I'm tired of the BS from this "entity".

Came here to check the number out. Missed a call on my cellphone from this number October 2, 2013 without any message left. Guessing it wasnt important. Thanks.

Called my cell and I was not arround.
They didn't leave a message when voice mail came up.
Must be scammers

2 calls @ 1321&1322. No message left. I NEVER answer unknown #s so these idiots can________. You can fill in the blank!

Called me today at 14:50 central time. No message left

This robot call comes in every other day.  Very annoying,  Before I get a chance to press #2 stop the calls the phone disconnect.

called, left message, undecipherable.

Scum of the Earth.

They called but I did not answer.  They left no message.

This is a dialer for  a car warranty sercvice.  They will call you back from  570-983-3781 and insult you if you ask to be taken off their call list.
I was told "aren't you just a sweet piece of meat?"  Then when I started laughing the guy said "I'd like to chew you up."  
Then he hung up on me.
I tried to call both numbers back.  The first says they will remove you from their list within 48 hours.
The second says it does not take incoming calls.

I didn't pick up either. It left a half second voicemail. called at 5:00 pm eastern time.
