re: What can be done about the 10,000 vehicle warranty calls I get

Just got the New Mexico one. They've started calling twice in a row to try to bypass the iPhone do not disturb setting that allows it to ring if the same number calls back (so emergency calls can get through). Sigh.

It's your choice; yes or no.

Once I told the 3rd guy that called I had a rebuilt title, I magically received no more solicitations...

I got 2 in a row, different numbers, just this morning. 3 yesterday. Wtf.

Actually, if it's a robo call - I've had success just pressing 0 (zero). Usually I'll get some robo confirmation saying I've been removed from their call list.
Figured that out out of frustration from all the calls.

Damn it! I already said "yes" to one of these!!! How do they charge me?
I don't recall that it went into detail about what happens next other than it said a request for payment was then made with threats of turning a non-payment into the credit rating agencies.

Me too! 2 calls every morning the last few weeks, here's a sample:
Phoenix, AZ
Blackburg, SC
Stone Mountain, GA
Brookhaven, NY
Jarrettsville, MD
Santa Monica, CA
Cape Coral, FL
Burlington, MA
Iowa City, IA
Los Angeles, CA
Buckingham, PA
Safford, AZ
How do these mofo's have so many robocallers? Spoofing their phone number?

I have gotten two back to back from a DC area code this morning. I use my phone for work but if it is an area that we perform no business in, I do not answer it. If it is important they will call back. I have answered when they hit a number in an area we do work in, but now I don't answer any calls that I don't recognize. The one time I answered because my bluetooth didn't show a number, they were trying to sell me a warranty for a truck I sold 4 years ago.

I get "vehicle warranty", "There's an issue with your credit card", and "We have detected a virus on your PC"
3-4 times a day. From all over the country.
INFURIATING.

Good ole Michael sure does get around with his warranty calls.

Has anyone found a solution to this BS??
I've started blocking the numbers that they call from, that helps a bit. When I'm really bored, I'll just start fricking with them. Had one of their reps on the phone for about 40 minutes once, just fricking with her until she finally told me to kiss her arse and hung up

Glad to see I'm not alone in this. I've been getting about 3 a day. Unfortunately I use my phone for work and always have to answer unknown numbers.

I don't know what the answer is but this shite is getting out of hand. I've gotten no less than 50 warranty calls for a vehicle I haven't owned in 3 years.

I get them from the credit services and vehicle warranty automated calls. like others my phone is for work so I have to answer. Blocking them does no good since the calls never come from the same number.
Posted on 2/2/17 at 2:27 pm to thedogman
I get 2-3 a day and it's infuriating. Especially because most of the time they call when I'm sleeping
Posted on 2/2/17 at 2:54 pm to Numberwang
Everyone I know has been getting tons of these calls, I get 4-5 a day and block every number but they keep coming
Posted on 2/2/17 at 3:04 pm to thedogman
The blocked number list in my phone has to be in the 100's because of this shite and the "there is no problem with your credit, we can offer a much better rate" calls.
