I got a call from a car warranty place a few years ago. The call said my warranty was about to expire. Just to mess with them I hit “1” to talk to an agent.
First question they asked me was what kind of car I had. I said I know what I have, what car are you calling about?
They seemed confused and I said your recording told me my warranty was about to expire so what car are you talking about?
This went on for about 5 minutes and they finally said your ‘92 Sunbird. I informed them the sunbird had been in the garage for 5 years and didn’t run but if they wanted to fix it it was ok by me.
They hung up.
Wenja 92 on YouTube tells them that he drives an ‘05 Hibachi.
I get the warranty call all of the time. I used to hang up but now I press 1. When someone with an indian accent comes on and asks what kind of car i have i say a 1965 Falcon. Then they say that does not qualify i tell them i also have a 1934 Ford and a 1914 brass Buick. That usually ends the call but i have happily wasted their time.
With the call warranty scammers,
I always tell them I have 1976 AMC Hornet and would very much like to have warranty coverage on it.
Haven’t heard from them for a while.
I get those warranty calls all the time. Same recorded message: “Your car warranty is about to expire...” LOL. I drive an old car.
Before the car warranty scam calls, I got calls from the “computer center” telling me my computer was broken. lol
I tell them I have a 1955 Studebaker.
They ask if I have any other cars.
I say, “Why would I need any other car?”
I’ve done the same with the debt clean up companies.
Since I’m debt free except my mortgage it’s a pretty easy call.
I have used the Seinfeld ploy. “Sorry I don’t have time to talk right now, but if you give me your home number, I’ll call you back”. When they sputter and tell me I can’t call them at home, I’ll respond, “Well, you called ME at home!”, then hang up.
