These "car warranty" calls are the latest scam. If you get them on your cell phone...or if you have caller ID at home, you can LOOK UP the phone number by simply entering that number into Google. The last 4 I've looked at have taken me to complaint sites where various folks tell THEIR experiences. These folks are 'phishing' trying to get you to give them data so they can use it for other purposes...fake IDs, car licenses..etc. These folks always hang up or give you some BS if you challenge them....and often, the # they call from is soon disconnected.

I also suspect that built in is a way to make money for cell phone companies, because I have a 'pay-as-you-go' cell phone, and each of those calls costs me 25¢ whether I answer or not! (That is, if phone rings and I hit 'no' instead of answering, the message says "this call cost 25¢"... I am going to contact AT&T about THAT situation.

Anyway,
