Rant of the day:Car Warranty Telemarketers

Galaril · 04-17-2009, 03:14 PM

Has anyone else been harrassed by these Warranty Solutions Inc telemarketing assholes? These fuckers have been calling me three times a day for months going back as long as last summer. I have tolld them I do not want to be on their call list numerous times and the guys always say ok but ok in a way that they are not going to do it.

Preach it, Brother. My warranty robocall has used at least three different numbers, making it harder to ignore.

JediKooter · 04-17-2009, 03:56 PM

They only seem to call my office number. Now whenever I see a blocked number or 000-000-0000, I just answer, "FBI Northern California division..." they don't stay on the line very long for some reason.

That is classic. lol

I have apparently solved the problem by tracking down the end company that handled the administration of these warranties. I found the companies number and the extensions for all the executives but all I had to do was call the President extension and spoke with his assistant who has been receiving 20-30 call a day about this. She was very nice and actually took all my numbers and said she would be sure they would not call me "ever" again. So let's see what happens. Here is all the info and all you really need to do is call 1-800-871-0467 x616 President Richard McCabe. If you explain it to the assistant and give any numbers you receive these call son they should be able to take of it. It would also be helpful to find out the name of the telemarketing firm I believe it is the same national Warranty Services. What I did was actual act like I was actually interested in the warranty and get connected to the "Warranty Specialist" who told the company was Warranty Solutions,Inc. Interesting thing was I apparently was not the first person to give fake info to get through them end point person. Anyways call that number it is in downtown Boston on Mills St in the Hanover Bld which I am very familar with having worked a number of years in The Hancock Bld down the street so this is a very legit company unlike the calling company.

Here is all you need to know about who is doing this...go get them!!!!!800-219-7425 TOLL FREE CALL I pressed 1 this time..talked to "Warranty Helpdesk" who transferred me to Brian with "Vehicle Services Inc" who quoted me a $2700 extended warranty for my car through "Royal Administration". Told them I could buy a cash car for that price and he hung up. Reported the call to the FCC - you should too! (Not Found found the end company who would provide the service and left a voice mail for the President expressing my anger over all these calls.

Actually it turns out these ones are abiding by the no call list which is why AT&T and Verizon have taken them to court in Ga. I too am on all the no call registries and it did me no good.

Ksyrup · 04-17-2009, 07:14 PM

Yeah, these guys are becoming high profile, and states like NY have legislation introduced to make these types of calls specifically illegal. What freaks me out is that these calls are coming to my cell phone. I'd never gotten spam calls to my cell phone before. Several of these companies are based in Missouri, and at least one is in South Florida. I've been working with a warranty company trying to determine if any of its clients are doing this, because they do NOT endorse or support it.

SportsDino · 04-18-2009, 08:49 PM

Oh crap, even if I'm on the list I would still get these calls.

Most of the time it is a robot calling, so I don't even get the satisfaction of wasting some drone's time.

Whoever runs these things should be fined to oblivion. The only way it could be profitable is if they are suckering enough poor old people anyway, would be a public service to destroy them, bury them, and salt the earth where they are buried so that no future telemarketers will grow their again.

What do you mean? How are they abiding by the Do Not Call list?

sachmo71 · 04-18-2009, 10:18 PM

I love these guys! My favorite was when I told the guy that I couldn't find my car because I painted it with invisible paint.

Sorry I missed the NOT. I meant to say they are not abiding by the no call list. Good catch.
