Received a call from this number this evening on my cell phone about renewing my car warranty. The guy was very rude and pushy and insisted that I renew the insurance. Eventually, I hung up on him. It's a scam. BEWARE!
Received a call from them about a Vehicle Protection Plan. She said she was calling about a 2010 Jetta (I sold it two years ago). When she asked about the Jetta, I told her that car had burned up in an accident and four people were killed (Not True, I sold it to a friend), Rather than saying "Oh, I'm so sorry" or showing any remorse, she instantly said "We cover any cars in your household"! COLD! I then asked if the number that appears on my caller ID is the number for her company or if I called it, would it say "No Longer In Service". She said the number would not reach them, because they use some phone service. I asked her what the name of her company was and she said "Vehicle Protection Direct" and she asked me if I wanted to speak to a supervisor. I said yes and spoke with "Floor Manager Paulette". I told her the number she dialed is on the Do Not Call Registry and she said they got the number from a dealer or an auto service center I may have used. I said what she was doing was against the law and it carries a $16,000 fine if convicted. She said it was not, because they got the number from a dealer where I had given them the number. I said the law doesn't work like that. Just because I gave my number to a dealer that worked on my call doesn't give her the authority to violate the law. I said, it is up to you to check each of the numbers they cold called, to see if the number is on the registry. She apologized and I asked for the address of her company. She was very polite and said: 84 Hubble Drive, O'Fallon, Missouri, 63366.
So, now I report it.....

Typical parasite auto warranty company calling my cell phone which is illegal in itself. Besides that this "company" is spoofing the number they are calling you from as this company is not in Virginia but the number they spoof is showing as a 540 area code which is Virginia. Call lasted exactly 10 seconds as I cut the "person" off and told him he was calling a cell phone and to never call it again... I have no problem with legit sales but the spoofed number screams out scam, and auto warranties are all scams to start with......
