The caller ID did not have the name of the business but rather that the call was from Philadelphia. I answered and the person immediately went into a script regarding my 2013 BMW. He stated that my warranty would soon expire and he wanted to know the mileage on my car. Instead of giving him any information, I asked where he was from. He said he was from "Vehicle Protection Department" and that he was calling with regard to extending my warranty - that with just a bit of information he could get a person on the line that would give me a quote. I could hear others in the background like this was some sort of boiler room operation. I immediately told this person to take my number off the list.

So I looked the number up and it is a landline. I called the number, blocking my number. I got a recording telling me the hours of business (Pacific time!) and that I was getting the recording because they were either closed or helping someone else. It said to call back during normal business hours. (And this would have been normal business hours if they were indeed a legit operation. Keep in mind I could originally hear others in the background on calls so why couldn't they answer mine?)

My best guess is that they are a scam looking for either credit card number or information about my vehicle. Don't tell them anything!
