Who does this "Your factory warranty has expired" phone calls come from?
I keep getting calls about a Toyota I owned in 1996 about its warranty being expired? How do I let them know that i could give a shit?

1. Telemarketers.
They'd like to sell you an overpriced maintenance package.

5. These scumbags won't stop until they call every phone in the US and abroad.
These fuckers call my home phone and cell phone continuously.

7. I got a call about this on my line at work.
I stayed on the line, and when the person responded I explained who I was, and where I worked, and I explained to her that we were considering legal action for harassment if they did not desist in calling our number. We haven't gotten another call since.

8. I get several of them a month, probably one for every car I have owned
since I moved to Texas,

that would be 3 for me, 4 for my husband and one for our daughter.

No wonder we get so many of them LOL

9. The panel on the phone reads: Auto Warranty
I know not to answer it.

11. I used to get those all the time
for a car I got from my dad years earlier when he got a new one. No warranty was ever in my name.

13. Used to get two a day, until I put my number on the Do Not Call registry.
I didn't think it would work, but it did, or else they coincidentally stopped a couple of days later. :shrug:
