 I have been getting auto dialed calls (which alot of you probably have also) on my cell phone about auto warrenty insurance. Or this is your last chance to get warrenty insurance. Well I was pissed one day that all 4 of our cellphones got calls, so I collected the numbers that dialed our phone and called the FCC and made a complaint. Well the FCC got back to me today and said the name of the company and that it was fraud and they were turning ALL of their complaints over to the FTC. So if you have received calls like this and want them to stop call the FTC and make a complaint. In the last 2 months I have probably got like 20 calls between the 4 cell phones we have.


i have been getting these calls as well, telling me that this is my last chance...my final phonecall for this offer, blah blah blah. yet i still keep getting the phonecalls. they've even gotten ahold of my work number and have called on that too, not to mention the countless postcards i've received about this too. thanks for the information about filing the complaints, i'll get on that tomorrow. anything to keep this nonsense from reoccuring.

My mom had a 1990 Ford Escort at the time so it was especially hilarious. My uncle had just bought a used (private sale) Escort for $900....
Long term warranties?! lolz
What is interesting is that these spam and telemarketing scams continue because they *work*. And that is a sad indictment on the decreasing educational levels of this country. I would NEVER NEVER NEVER order anything from someone emailing me or calling me out of the blue. If I want it, I'll ask. "If I don't ask - get lost" is a good philosophy to have when it comes to salesman.
Giving a high school diploma to people who can barely read.... :eye-roll: :shakes head:
(Hey, I miss the eye-rolling emoticon already, it seems that they were just cut in half, and I was thinking that more of them would be cool)

I know, it gets sickening with these calls. My son who is 16 and doesn't even own a car is getting them. I told him to hang up when he gets one. They are hitting our area pretty hard right now with these calls. My cell phone carrier is even getting them at their office but cannot block the number because they keep coming from diferent numbers.
