am on it- this is the only calls i get-

doesnt that expire soon or something?
it is just annoying- my warrenty is no where near ready to expire, and this is not my car place- same call over and over:
it is urgent that we reach you- your warrenty on your car is about to expire and you need to call us back before it does.

i feel bad for those that fall for it ;-( it is annoying, very very annoying

...and you just know when you answer the phone and say hello, only to be greeted by three seconds of silence that theres an automated message coming at you.

When I get the occasional telemarketing call I usually make a game of getting them to hang up on me. Like, whatever they're selling, I'll move the convo toward a butt and/or urological disorder.

Flirting works too...especially if the telemarketer is the same sex as you ^^

There's 2 that I get often. There's one automaton where a woman practically yells in my ear "CONGRATULATIONS" and goes on about me winning some trip. The other one is where apparently I'm being called from my credit
card company and that it is urgent that I give them a call. Funny thing is I
don't even use credit cards.

I got these exact same recorded car warranty messages. After I signed up to the donotcall.gov website they seemed to stop, but I guess that's not working for you.

Try googling the number(s) you get them from, lots of interesting results. I came across this: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-562-289-8136

Good luck!

Might want to call them back and make sure it isn't a legit call. Someone could have opened some cards in your name and decided not to pay them

If it's just a tactic, or if it's a phishing attempt, give the FTC a call.

Good point monaco, but I've gotten that exact same automated message several times
over the past year. One would think they would have a person call by now, at least
to show that they're...well human.

Isn't it illegal to have automatic diallers harrassing people? And especially telemarketing after 8pm?

The ones I hate are the ones asking for "Joe" (or whomever).. when you say there's no Joe there, they reply with "well, that's ok.. I can talk to you!".. uh, no.. you can't.

99% of my incoming calls are telemarketers.

ROFL. I hate this as well. Especially when I dont have a car. Or when they sell its time for me to refi/mortgage and I dont own a house.
