Got a call from (847) 705-8225. I make it a practice to not answer calls from numbers I don't recognize on my cell phone. If they caller leaves a message, I'll call back. If they don't leave a message, the subject matter is unimportant or otherwise, it usually ends up that it's a spam call like this one.
Just another ploy to get innocent people to give up private information.
I received a call from this number apparently "reminding me this is my last chance to renew the warranty on my car" This call was placed to my work cell phone which very only clients have. My car is registered here in town (madison WI) to my personal cell phone. The auto attendant said to press 1 for more info, which I did. A man with an indian accent answered and wanted to know what kind of car I had. The moment I started questioning him he hung up on me. I did a reverse search and came up with this info:
Araceli Ortiz (847) 705-8225 462 E Osage Ln, Palatine, IL 60074
I called the number back and received a number disconnected message on all three attempts.
A rather rude sounding lady scolding me that this is the second notice that my factory warranty is running out. If that were only true (2nd notice) I have received this or similar calls no less than 150 times over the last 2 years. I can't believe that they are actually trying to sell anything because the call is so poorly done. It honestly seems like a harrassment call.
I got this call to, everything above checks out - the girl who answered said "Warranty Solutions" I talked to her a little, and she did say that they get these numbers from the car manufacturers. I pursued the line of questioning, and she didn't have any more information. She said she manually added my number (a business number) to the do not call list - this was the 4th call in about a month.
My suggestion is to follow through with the offer - give them a car's make and model, and maybe provide other information to get transferred to a 'Warranty Specialist". You may be able to get more information - like the name of the company - if you act interested in the product
I have been getting these calls about my car warranty for the past month as well. When I try to call the # back it is DISCONECTED! I think I am going to try to answer it the next time to see who the hell they are and get as much information as possible. I think they got my number from something I did online during March Madness...did anyone else do something like that?
