automated caller with message claiming car warranty about to expire. i thought the call suspect due to the fact that all our cars are well over 10 years old, all used and without any warranty. pressed button to talk to rep, was an arab w/strong accent. rep could not tell me what car it was for or whom he was trying to reach. rep refused to identify himself, the company he works for, where he aquired my number or provide any contact information for the company or it's officers. throughout the call he referred to the company as an answering service when i made the claim that they had called us. 3 times the guy interupted and tried to talk over me, 3 times i simply screamed louder into the phone untill he shut up and listened. he was able to tell me what number he had reached, and it was correct. also he said it would be removed from the system but i doubt it. i could hear some giggling [***] in the backgound, must have thought my rage funny. somebody get some more info on these [***] so i can do something about it. this a a plain old scare tactic telemarketer casting a wide net, probably to commit mass phone fraud to get credit card or bank information. google returns few results on this offender, seems to have just started with this callerID/number today.
Got a call from this number about 2 minutes ago. My car warranty is going out of date... I know all the information on my car and the area code doesn't match anything so before I took action I checked this out. Talked to a "Auto insurance representative" Strong arab accent and wouldn't let me talk. I asked my name my address and my car make and he couldn't give any of them. I asked him to remove my name from any and all calling lists and hung up before he could say anything else
Automated message was left on my VM. It starts out saying "...recently a friend or family member who visited one of these stores left your name at the customer service kiosk..." and went on to say I had won a vacation to Cancun and Walt Disney world.
I recognize the voice, they have left similar messages before, but from a different caller id. In the past I've looked them up on this website and learned they were scam artists.
I found the old posting I was referring to. Look up the number 8026814148 on this website and you'll see at least 17 pages of comments about these scammers.
I too just received this call. The answering machine came on & then the caller just hung up. I did *69 & got this number. I'm in British Columbia, Canada
