This was the "Your car warranty has run out" scam. He had a heavy Indian accent. He asked my name and I gave him a fake one. He said I needed a warranty on my Nissan. I said I had a 2014 Humvee. He asked what color. I said camoflauge. He asked how many miles. I said 90 thousand in the desert of some country I could not remember the name of, but where there was lots of sand. He asked what condition it was in. I said it was fine except for the shell shock. He said WHAT? I said, Well, you know it has seen combat and it was still upset about that little IED thingy that happened, but the body work had been taken care of and you could not tell anything had ever happened to it. Of course it has trouble starting if it hears a strange accent, like yours, Raj. Have to get it to a psychiatrist at the garage but it always figures out where I am taking it so then it won't start, see? Gee, is Humvee shell shock covered by your warranty? **********Crickets*********** Must have lost him in the translation. He tried several times to make me answer one of his questions with a "YES" which is a big scammer trick. They record you saying yes and then you find your credit card maxed out or a subscription to something you did not buy. Do not ever answer your phone "Yes" or when they say "Is your name ????" never answer yes. Always be careful.
Alice, you cracked me up with the story. Thanks for the humor.
But, please: Don't perpetuate a story about answering "Yes" to telemarketer questions; There is no proven evidence to support this. It's just a scare tactic. Here is MY proof that there is NO validity to this claim: http://www.snopes.com/can-you-hear-me-scam/
