I figure that wouldn't do anything, so when I have the energy to even pick up the phone for these assholes, I usually just fuck with them. My favorite is the scam about renewing your car's warranty, because I don't own a car and never have. So I get them on the line and say, "Oh, no, my warranty is about to expire? Which car are you calling about?" And they pause, confused. "Well, I have two cars, which one is about to expire?" They always respond with, "The most recent purchase, sir." And then I go, "Well, I bought them at around the same time many years ago, I don't remember exactly which one was more recent. If you're calling about the warranty, surely you know the make and model, right?" That's about when they hang up. One time I got a scam call trying to make me freak out by saying someone bought a $1,000 iPhone on my Amazon account and I needed to work with them to take care of the fraud. I just said, "Oh, no, I bought that! There's no fraud, nothing to worry about!" There was a very long (and amusing) pause, and then the click of disconnection. |

I'm surprised by that. Every piece of car warranty junk mail I've ever gotten had the exact, correct make and model of my car. I'm pretty sure there must be some database that sells that info at scale.
