Those extended warranty companies are the most crooked around. I get their stupid scam calls several times a week, and sometimes on my cell phone. They mask their real phone number, and violate the Do Not Call rules. There should be immunity for threatening one of these scam artists. How many people threatened Madoff and his family the last few months? Are any of them in jail? This is ridiculous.

FTC nukes “extended warranty” robocallers from orbit
If you live in the US, you’ve probably received illegal telemarketing calls claiming that your car warranty is about to expire—even if you don’t own a car. The brazen “extended warranty” scam has now been busted by the Federal Trade Commission, which filed a pair of federal lawsuits to take over the companies behind the calls.
