I just got a call from (702) 520-1307 on my cell phone. It was a pre-recorded message telling me my warranty on my car was expired and I should not make the mistake of driving without a warranty. I should press one to speak to and agent and two to be removed from the followup list. So I pressed one and the guy asked if I wanted to renew a warranty. I told him this was an unsolicited call to a cell phone, and he hung up on me instantly.
My car is a 1996. So what the hell is this? A phishing scam for CC numbers? There’s already a link with people wondering the same thing: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-702-520-1307
Also how do people do reverse phone lookups now that Google has disabled it?
They are duping numbers from all over the states now. I got on their list somehow and I get several calls a week from them, never from the same number. I have taken to hitting 1 for an operator, queueing up Never Gonna Give You Up while it rings, and rickrolling them. I get to waste their time and annoy them, and it’s not like they were going to ever remove me from the list anyway.
Despite being on the UK Dont Call list we get loads on the land line to the point we tend not to pick it up, I certainly never answer it before 7pm as anyone who knows me will ring the mobile but generally we dont answer the land line at all. It’s there for cheap weekend and evening calls for people we know will ring or we’ll ring them. Worst case is we have to pick up voice mail and ring them back.
