I knew it was a fraud the first time they called, because our vehicles are so old that there’s no way that ANY warranty we may have had on it was *about to expire*. They would have expired YEARS ago.

I have literally taken the phone out of the hand of my mother in law as she started spewing what cars she owned, asking which one was the one which would be under the extended warranty. I've no doubt that by the end of the call, she would have paid the money.

Yes, people are stupid.

I guess you don’t have an elderly parent. Whether they “fall for it” enough to send money, old people worry when they get official-sounding calls.

If anybody wants to apply some direct action on these guys, I’m in.

Yes, people fall this sort of scam. Especially older people who don’t have a clue what it will cost to keep up their cars after the warranty runs out.

Ive taken to stringing them along... Despite the fact my only vehicle is a 2009 I tell them of my 2001 Dodge Neon... The best part comes when you say ‘hold on while I get my credit card’ and then just leave the phone in the bedroom while you go and watch TV.. I figure if I can waste 15-30 minuets of a scam artists day it was a worthy effort..

#2. Yes. They also fall for credit card repair, mortgage loan adjustment, get rich in real estate and lose weight without diet or exercise and wait, thats not all, much, much more!
