"This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

Is anyone else dealing with this shit? These damn people are calling me from spoofed numbers 2x every business day and I am getting pissed.

I told the computer to remove me twice and its not worked. I bitched some guy out on the phone the next time they called and he called me a "fuckin asshole" then hung up on me.

I've signed up with the FTC's do not call list, since I didn't know this would work with cellphines, but I've gotta wait for like a month before it kicks in.

I want to do something to piss these guys off, but it is irritating me b/c I've got 2-3 spoofed numbers bugging me every day. :evil:

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

Yeah because they are just a total ripoff group, so they dont care. This is why I was a super dick to them on the phone, but they keep calling.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

I got these calls for a few months. I finally had to tell them to take me off their call list, for my taco never had a warranty to begin with.

What a scam!

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

I'm not getting called as much as receiving letters in the mail. There's 2 (at least) every week.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

I use to get them once or twice a week but it seems to have subsided for now. However, we get these calls all the time at work....and we're a car dealership! It's friggin annoying....they call our customers as well and then they call us to check that they have a warrenty, etc.

I don't know how many times I have followed the prompts to get someone and tell them to stop calling and it never works....its so frustrating, grr!

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

These dipshits just called me again. I answered and waited for about 10 rings until I got directed to some idiot where he asked me for the "make and year of my car" like they always do (but since my warranty is expiring, shouldnt they have this already?)

this time i was actually nice and asked the guy to put me on his do not call list because i have asked this last time around and the fucking dick hung up on me.

since i know that these guys are total rip off artists the next phone call is going to be amazing. i am going to keep him on the phone for like 15 minutes giving him as much bullshit info about my 87 cutlass supreme that i really need to get extended coverage on so that i can cruse the local college campuses with it this summer.

it is going to be great.

I get calls for that, at home and my office!

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

i just ignored them. eventually they stopped after i signed up on the 'do not call' registry. i'm sure since i told you this, they'll start calling me again soon.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

i used to receive their mailings every now and again. haven't received one for a while. sounds to me like just another scam.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

I used to get really pissed when these guys like this called me until I found out how much fun you can have with them. Check out Jim Florentine's cds called terrorizing telemarketers, you might get some ideas and a few laughs.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

We have those guerilla marketing guys here as well calling you at home or on the mobile. Good thing is, nowadays nobody I know from work, family or friends calls me without displaying the number and I just do not answer calls anymore when I can't see the number. Here they are thinking about a law to force display the number so you can do something against them more easily. I doubt it will work though because these fuckers will surely find a new method to disturb you with their shit. The most bugging thing about the agressive marketing guys is that they would not do this if it would not be a business. So it seems that there are still enough people who buy something just because somebody calls them.

Damn. I get this shit at LEAST twice a week. And so does everyone else it seems. I see an unrecognized area code, and knowing me I'm tempted to answer it, because you know it could be some random piece of ass that wants my sexy body. But, nope, it's the second notice that the factory warranty on my car has expired.

YUP!

Having done some telemarketing in my day, I can tell you that this is the best way to piss off a telemarketer. You keep him on the phone for a long period of time and then don't buy anything? You've just ruined his day. You don't even have to pay attention to what he has to say -- just wait until you don't hear any more talking, and chime in with some inane question or ask him to repeat what he just said.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

this is fucking annoying, I hear from the bastards everyother day. I thought I was only one.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

My question is, why have telemarketers not started using text messages? I am amazed that I have never gotten a spam text, espeically when you can do it for free over the net.

I wonder what would happen if they did and people started getting charged for received text messages....

#1198259Post 22 of 26

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

i used to get a few spam messages here and there, but thankfully not many. any spam on my phone seriously pisses me off because it is obtrusive. i get about 800 spam emails on my gmail account a month, but i never see a bit of them because of the great spamfilter, unlike my phone i cant do this crap. i could sign up for google voice but who wants to do that just because of shitty spam, and change their number also.

Re: "This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car..."

Been getting very strange emails about Obama's Free Grant Money to an email address I rarely give out and rarely if ever receive any spam on...

Received a call from Phillips Morris the cig company today trying to talk to me about the new cig tax, he asked me if anyone in my household smoked, I responded "no," while thinking, how is he calling my business line anyway? wtf :roll:

I can tell you exactly what would happen, I would file a class action suit against them at the earliest possible opportunity. Foisting unwanted text message charges upon people is a huge no-no, and that is the upshot of text message spam, at least until unlimited texting becomes universal. If anyone ever gets a spam text message from a recognizable company (i.e., not a Nigerian price offering you money or some fly-by-night that you've never heard of), let me know and we'll unleash the gates of hell on its ass. Not a joke.
