They called me at work, and just like everyone else they tried to sell an extended warranty. At least I think that's what she was going to try to do, I hung up. It would help if the so called sales person could pronounce the make and model of my car properly. Tucson is NOT pronounced tuckson...... what a moron ! ;)
Received a call from this number and it went to voicemail. When I went to listen to the message all that was heard was back round noise and then the caller called my name several times. The call ended with that.
I had this same thing happen to me. I thought the whole thing was fishy from the start so I want to see how it was going to pan out. Usually when someone calls me for things like this I wait until they ask for more of my information or make me a one time offer. This one was very elaborate. They kept on switching me to other people within their group. While on hold for 2 sec with music I got switched over to someone one else like clock work. I believe I spoke to 5 different people. They asked me where I got my car, so I told them and they automatically thought I said a different dealer (which sounds like nothing I said) and gave the location of the different dealer. They started to speak to me about how as long as the dealership as a certified mechanic my extended insurance would cover it. They went in depth into what the insurance covered and the deductible. They made me a one time offer and I declined and in return the guy started laughing at me like I was making a stupid decision. We argued about my decision and he was laughing the whole time. In return I called him out on it and then he hung up. Since then I spoke with the owner of the dealership where I got the car and threw out the idea of sending out notifications to previous customers about the scam. He said he will likely do so.
***I called the number back from this scammer 20 minutes after and it says it has been change or disconnected
they called me. asked about the letters they had mailed me. I told them I wasn't sure if the letters were legit and they said that was normal. red flag.
then I let them do their whole thing. passing me around to maybe 4 other people in different departments. after hearing the payment options I told them I couldn't afford any of it. also, the numbers didn't add up... red flag 2.
luckily I was at work and got paged. I told the woman thank you, but I had to go because I'd the page. she responded, "whatever" and hung up.
they are very convincing. if I had the money, I probably would have been scammed.
