I recieved a call from 305-408-6643. A professional sounding, soft spoken, and very polite gentleman caller offered to extend my auto dealership warranty. He asked the make and model of my car. I said I did not have a dealer warranty with the purchase of my 1999 used Blazer. He told me it was not a problem. He could provide a warranty for me anyway. He said he could offer me a life time, bumper to bumper, warranty with no deductable and it would transfer to a new owner if I ever sold the car. The cost of this life time warranty was only $2500. He offered me a choice of three interest free payment plan options. $650, $550 or $450 down. The one with $450 down required 11 monthy installments of $188.18 or 17 monthly installments of $121.76. He said the warranty came with a 30 day review with money back in those 30 days if not satisfied. SOUNDED TO GOOD TO BE TRUE! How could any company make money with coverage like that? I was told that the warranty was offered through "Direct Choice". He then asked me for my credit card number so he could set up the payments. I explained that my husband was not home and that I needed to discuss a $2500 purchase with him before I could put it on a credit card. I asked if I could call him back in one hour or that he call me back. His entire attitude changed. He was no longer polite and soft spoken. He became loud and very rude, demanding the credit card payment right then. He got me so upset that I had to hang up on him.
