I keep getting harassed about a vehicle warranty for a 2007 Suzuki... However, I have never owned anything Suzuki in my life. I've asked to be taken off their calling list, blocked numbers they call from, and have blown up on a few... but I'm still getting calls every other day. Any advice? Anyone had this happen before?

Ignore or post their numbers on here and let the OT do work.

I pretended I worked for the FCC and reminded them that the number they were calling was on the do not cal list and that it was a federal crime. They played ignorance, but I haven't received a call since.

you should just sexually harass the person who calls you. I mean gratuitous sexual comments. Make it uncomfortable.

I sold a vehicle 4 years ago and I still get calls on that mofo.

They are rude as hell too. One of the last ones that called me about the extended warranty went something like this.

quote:

Them: "We are calling about your blah blah vehicle and the warranty being expired"
Me: "I'm sorry I actually sold that vehicle years ago and would you please take me off of this list"
Them: "You could actually buy this warranty for the person who now owns the vehicle"
Me: "Ughhhh why would I do that, that makes no sense, it's not my vehicle anymore, I am not spending money for someone else's benefit"
Them: "Well lady, have you ever heard of paying it forward, maybe you would be happier in life if you did that".
Me: "WTF, You don't know me. Do not call me again a-hole"


Then they called again. LIke the next day. :(

Go through with it like you going to buy it. Get down to the nut cutting. Ask them what co.pa y it's through and where that from. Be nice and cordial, once you find out who it is, get to work.

Got the same shite

"I sold that car a long time ago"

"Well what do you drive now?"

"It doesn't matter"

"Yes it absolutely DOES matter sir"

I flipped the frick out on them and they finally stopped calling

When the phone rings, answer with "Go ahead, please. You're on the air."

That's a go getter. I'd hire that person for any job.
