Today, I received yet another vehicle "Extended Warranty" scam call from this number. I've been getting these illegal calls (I'm on the DO NOT CALL REGISTER) from this number and others for years. I often play along to find out if any are legit and have found 100% of them to be scams.
This time "Karen" from Empire Consumer Services, Pomona, CA tried to get me to pay $3,167 for what she said was a one time opportunity to buy a great extended warranty from the company that does Ford's factory warranties (a lie). She tried to get me to pay for it without reading it. When I insisted on reading it first, she gave me the link to their website and contract. It took me 15 seconds to find two clauses in it that would allow them to deny any and all claims with impunity. Their promises of refunds if you cancel within 30 days are also scams because they are notorious for refusing to make refunds.
NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM TELEMARKETERS. THEY ARE NEARLY ALWAYS SCAMS
