"Called wanting to sell extended warranties for vehicles. They have been calling for the past couple months and hang up if you ask any questions they don't like. After searching here I've found they seem to jump from number to number selling auto warranties or your credit card is overdue or if we want auto insurance. If you try to call back any of the numbers they are always disconnected. Being on the DNC list makes no difference with them apparently. This is what I have found out so far. All of this information is unverified by myself.
They go by several names:
1) Extended Auto Warranty
2) Dealer Services
3) Automotive Warranty Protection Services
4) The Choice Warranty Company
5) Auto Warranty Specialists
6) Account Services
7) Warranty Service Center
8) Automotive Warranty Solutions
They have gone through numerous name changes over the past few years.
Most seem to feel the originating company is:
Automotive Warranty Solutions
6501 Congress Ave Ste. 140
Boca Raton, FL 33487
or
3344 Mid Rivers Mall Dr.
St Peters, MO 63376
I've found severall numbers but they all are very close
1-800-367-56xx
Ive seen several variations of the xx, 44 88 99

"As much as I believe many consumers overreact to situations, this is a true example of attempted identity theft. Thank you to the people above who have posted information regarding this scam. I too have received several phone calls from this number, and some which have been labeled unknown but stated they were from the same company.
Important Information:
A new name: "National Auto Warranty Services"
A new location: St. Louis, Missouri
In addition to the information posted above, please be aware of these details as well.
(I have heard them identify themselves as the other 8 names listed in the other posts on this site, and can also verify that information.)
Please report incidents that occur to local and federal authorities. If this fraud is to cease, the authorities will be the only ones who may bring about proper justice.
These phone calls are identity theft. I am concerned for individuals who actually give these people such information. If you have given these people your information, I would personally recommend changing any accounts, contacting local authorities, and specifically and most importantly reporting these events to the Federal Trade Commission. The number for the Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft Hotline is 1-877-382-4357.
Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft Hotline:
877-382-4357
For those not aware, the FTC is a federal agency which does a very important and serious job at protecting consumers throughout the country. They will legitimately investigate complaints and work hard to stop and possibly bring action against fraudulent companies.
If something has happened to you, please report it.
