I am so sick of these "your warranty on your car is going to expire..."

(June 16) -- A civil lawsuit filed in May points a finger at four people allegedly responsible for more than $10 million in telemarketing scams.
Court documents allege that Christopher Cowart, James and Maureen Dunne, and Damian Kohlfield are behind so-called "robocall" schemes that have sent out more than 1 billion telephone calls since 2007, Fox News reported Monday.

They probably did. The premise of American business seems to be do something wrong to make profit, then when your caught just pay the fine. The fines are cheaper than the amount of money you make by violating the law so who cares.
I got about 30 of those the warranty calls and they pissed me off too!

Glad its over. There are others. I understand that someone is now calling older
folks and trying to convince them that they are a grandchild and in need of
money. My mother received one of these calls once and it was hysterical.
I was 22 years old, single, no children. and an only child. According to mom,
he sounded to be in his early to mid twenties. She thinks he may have gotten her
mixed up with a much older woman of the same name and she had recently been mentioned as a survivor in an obituary. Vultures everywhere.

I was getting these calls on an unlisted number I had. I think they took the entire 703 area code and went through every possible combination.
