car warranty calls
I have gotten two of these personally, and they are really friggin annoying. Did not realize it was a US - wide scam. Basically, you get a call saying "urgent, your factory warranty is about to expire." It was blatantly a scam, but it seems quite a lot of people have bought extended warranties from the scammers.
Seems they are pretty good at not getting caught though. One number being used was traced to a disconnected phone in Nebraska that had belonged to an illegal immigrant who had been deported after a meat-packing plant raid. Yeah.
So, hopefully the annoying calls stop soon, but incredible that a small scam shop with a computer and some phone phreaking skillz can dial the entire country and not get caught, at least not yet.
