Has anyone found a solution to this BS??


See Berkeley last night?

Here is your problem in all seriousness. You may have inadvertantly bought a warranty sometime in the past when you financed your car....finance mgrs at car dealerships were experts at selling them and making you think that it was part of the deal and you had to have it. That means that your number was given to the companies and they see you as their customer and as a matter of business, they believe that they have a fiduciary responsibility.

It's all b.s. but they are betting that you are no longer on the DNC list (because it is attached to a number....not a person). Probably getting them on your cell?

IF you have Verizon download nomorobo. It's $20 a year but worth it to me.

I did not buy a warranty on any of my cars I have purchased. They guy tried to sneak it in on the car these terds keep calling about and I told him to take it off or I was walking out and not buying the car.

I didn't realize this was a widespread thing. I get daily calls about a car warranty. I block them all, but it doesn't matter since they robocall with a new number every time.

My BF is getting tons of calls from "no caller ID" numbers. Middle of the night, daytime, whenever. Like 10-15 times in a row. When he answers, there's nothing there. So aggravating & impossible to block on an iPhone unless you set your phone to "do not disturb" mode.

Same. I get the Card Services one along with people asking me to donate to veteran, police funds all over the place. And they always ask for a name aside from my own and it's different every time.

I'm very non confrontational so I just started buying it when they call. On the plus side I'm not worried about repair bills for a while.

I thought I was the only one until now. I get the card services and warranty calls on a daily basis. On the recording it says to press #2 to stop, but it didn't do shite.

I like to ask them if their mother is alive. And if they say no I like to say "go frick her rotting corpse you piece of shite". Usually that ends the discussion.

I'm getting multiple per day also. Had one Chinese sounding MF-er a couple of days ago telling me my warranty was about to expire. Then he wanted to know the make and model. I told him he should know that. He got mad at me and started telling me I didn't understand.
