[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 245265, member: 9789"] Here is another Phishing type of marketing ploy that is not illegal but can keep you on the phone when you would normally hang up. The automated message tells you that your new car warrenty is about to expire and to stay on the phone to extend your warrenty. Time is running out and once your warrenty has expired it cannot be renewed! I kept getting this phone call and stayed on the line to see what it would cost me to get an extension. The way I figured out was when they asked me for the info on my car I asked them which one? i had two cars that were ready to expire! There was a pause and then the person said the car that is the newest! The flag went up! Why didn't they already know which car? Because the only time a live person gets on the line is if someone stays on the line (like me). Then they know you have a car that they can sell you an extended warrenty!!! This could happen with any type of product so be careful! [/QUOTE]
