I kept getting calls from this number. Typically I don't answer questions in the middle of the day, especially if this weird number leaves hangup messages but I was expecting a call from someone else.
So, after accidentally picking up this call (with a local area code) I get a lady on the line named Heidi. She seemed nice enough asked about my VW, she had the make and year ready to go and asked me to confirm the mileage. She talked about extending my warranty and I got passed around to a bunch of people to confirm this and that.
They said to extend my warranty that covered basically "everything except maintenance" I'd pay $556.20 for 5 years or $2481 in full. Of course I had to pay right then and there on the phone but I had 30 days to cancel if I felt they were sketchy or didn't like the deal. I told them I wasn't really sure and would rather have an invoice sent and pay that so I could verify who they were. I got transferred to someone else. He tried to say that they weren't trying to scam me or take away all my money and that in 200X the government stopped random phone scammers from having the ability to scam folks easily. 90% of people take advantage of the deal right away. Said I just didn't feel comfortable with that amount of money especially over a phone and asked to do my research and call them back. He said that if I called again my price would be different and I need to take advantage of the pricing now as 99% of the people that call back want to be in on this great deal. Said I guess I'll just have to suck it up, call them back and take the hit for higher prices. He sighed and said I was missing out and that I could look them up on their website.
I looked them up. They've got a weird site, have only been in business since 2011 and aren't apart of the BBB which makes me even more nervous so. I don't know what to think about them but watch out.
Received a call from this number stating that my Toyota extended service warrantee or some such thing was about to expire. This is not the case. I asked where they were calling from, and they said Toyota, which I'm sure is [***]. I hung up.
Apparently they have reached the Vancouver area on their list. Strange call. They asked me about a car that I previously owned when I sounded confused (I don't normally answer calls from unknown numbers), she asked if it was good time for me, not knowing who it was I said it wasn't. She did not identify herself or what company she was calling from, I had to check out this site to find out, but seemed to have auto info for me. Lots of noise in the background like telemarketers.
