While I was sleeping in the morning I got a call from a New York number and I picked it up while half awake/asleep and don’t remember everything perfectly, but it was an automated voice that was telling me the warranty on my car had recently expired and it was saying I could try to renew it by staying on the line or pressing a number on the phone or something. I was confused and tired and just hung up cause it was like wtf, and I went back to bed. Does anyone know what this is about? I don’t remember giving out my number for anything like that, and my only car is my 95 240 anyway. So yeah… ---

if you bought any car from a dealer or something, they can set you up with warranties from private places…who knows, could of been a fluke lol. ---

A lot of people I know get these. Family and friends, some that don’t even have a car. My bet is scam or something. ---

I got my S14 from its previous owner and it’s the only car I’ve ever bought, never got a warranty for it or anything. Not sure if the last guy did anything like that, but I still don’t know how they’d have my number, unless it was just the wrong number or a scam or something. ---

It must be a scam. We got the same thing and my dad became a wise ass… “Really you have warranty on my car? What car, what year is my car!” “It doesn’t matter we cover cars from 1990-2008” My dad at this point burst into laughter as the only car the family owns is a 2009 Camry ---

i’ve gotten that call as well, which is weird cause every car my family owns has been bought used and purchased through private sale. it’s just commercial crap, like those phone surveys and what not. ---
