Phone call from Vehicle Processing Center wanting to know if I would buy an extended warranty on a recently purchased car.  I made the mistake of giving the car dealer my cell phone number without the stipulation that they were NOT sell my number.  I get calls at least once a month wanting me to extend the car warranty.  I've asked every time that they take my name/number off their list but no luck.  They call from a different number each time.

I, too, got this call on my cell phone but number didn't come up on my phone as a missed call but left a message. Thru my phone options I retrieved the info as 949-202-0357 but the message said I could call 855 333 0001 for more information about the warranty. I'm unsure if they dealer is selling numbers or if this info is being received from the vehicle registration which might be public information. Bet they didn't know the mileage of your car but everything else.

Let me reseach and  repost something that I wrote from another time and number and I what I found out.

These telemarketers say "extended warranty" but what they are offering is actually third-party prepaid service contracts.
Some states regulate them heavily.
You will also be getting junk mail from some of these companies too.

I got a lot of these calls a year before my vehicle's 5-years warranty ended, and about a year after that warranty actually ended; the callers seemed to not know exactly when the vehicle was originally purchased, and I am the second owner.

This is an xpost that I wrote for another number using the same telemarket technique.

'Asked for my husband and made note of 2008 Chevrolet Silverado that he no longer has. Giving my husband the phone, I told my husband to play along, but after hearing their speel he just simply said I no longer own that vehicle. They hung up. No fun.

I've had this type of call before and know of this top scam so I play along to kill time and theirs. They knew the names of 3 different local car dealers that we use. They knew about my vehicle but not the mileage. I made up the mileage because I didn't know. Oh great, since it was under 100,000 miles I qualify! imagine that. Said I wasn't interested. Got a call from another number from another city with same info the very next day. This time they had my same Toyota information and my "exact mileage" that I made up from the day before. I said you called me yesterday and they said they did not. I said well I gave my mileage yesterday and no one would know that and you are using that number. They handed me over to a manager.  Proceeded to tell me about saving on the warranty yada yada yada and that it would be such and such "enormous" amount. I needed to put at least 30% down on a credit card TODAY!  Nah, don't think so, send it to me. Began to argue with me that I need to do this or I would lose the deal. I said which dealer gave you my information and I will call them and ask who they use for warranty policies. She gives me 3 local car dealers that we have gone to. I said I will call them. She rudely and abruptly said who do you think gave us your number? I said, well let me call them and if they recommend you then I know you are legit. She continued to badger me about how I needed to do this right now or would lose the deal. I say ok, lose the deal as I am not giving you money today as there are numerous warranty scams out there.  She made her voice louder and began to get frustrated and repeatily told me that I would not get this deal again and that they would take me off the list and I would no longer qualify for this deal. And did I really want to take my Toyota off the list? Go for it Sweetie!  She really tried hard to get my business and kept passing over my scam concern. I finally said I'm hanging up. Little did they know that I was going to trade my Toyota soon.''
