Automated call recieved at 10:47 EST on 22 August 08 from 406-293-7818 to my cell phone. The automated message stated that this was their final warning that my vehicle warrenty had expired and to reactivate the warrenty to 'avoid expensive and avoidable costs' touch '1' to speak to a customer service representative. This was the third such call recieved over the past three weeks, but this time I did dial '1'. 'Representative' asked for the year, make and model of my vehicle. When I told them (I have recently purchased a new vehicle), they said that was the wrong vehicle and did I own any other vehicle, to which I replied 'Many, but none under warrenty'. The 'representative' then asked if I owned a 2002, 2003 or 2004 Chevrolet pickup, and when I said no, they hung up on me.
I tried to call the number back to complain to a supervisor, but got a recorded message that 'the Nextel number you are trying to reach is no longer in service'. An internet search for the number turned up a residental number in Montana.
i just received the same message on my cell -AT&T - r vehicle warranty - when asked for my model car - i replied - if you are calling about a warranty then you should know the make and model. i eventually hung up on them
