Many people have been complaining recently about getting these calls from random phone numbers saying “your warranty is about to expire”, or “you have just a few months left on your car warranty”. Appears some folks at reddit were complaining about this as well and actually found the culprit. Yesterday, they somehow found the real information about the telemarketer company and started calling it including hacking into their voice mail system and listing the different extensions. Unfortunately, there were apparently quite a few unhappy callers who had left messages asking for refunds … as of today the main phone number is disconnected.
Here are a few excerpts of their discussions there:
As the 800 number was reporting disconnected, I called (949) 475-9500, pressed zero for an operator and asked to speak to a manager. They passed me to Customer Service. Phone rang for about 5 minutes then I got “Jeremy.” I asked to have my cell # removed from their call list and he said he’d take care of it. Then I asked for his name and direct contact number. he told me: Jeremy, 1-800-499-4116, extension 467.
just got a call from their auto dialer 10 minutes ago, so they’re still up to it. I pressed 1 to connect to an agent and he picked up after about 10 seconds. I told him to stop calling me and he just hung up the phone.
They list all of the commands for the voicemail system. Unfortunately for these folks people should be more vigilent when getting and trusting a telemarketer.
