Mallard Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Every day I get a phone call from "Vehicle Services" trying to sell me an extended warranty for my Volt (which I no longer own). I tell them every time to put me on the Do Not Call List but they keep calling and claim it must have been someone else who called me previously. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there any way to make it stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Block list on your phone.. The call ID shows a different number almost every time. I have a feeling they are spoofing the number, I've tried calling back and they rarely connect to anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickey4271647545519 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've found that if you bring up legal action, they'll leave you alone If they're smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I've found that if you bring up legal action, they'll leave you alone If they're smart. I've done that, they hang up immediately, sometimes claiming that they have never called me previously before hanging up. I keep a log of every time they call me, but I have no idea how to even pursue anything. There is no way for me to get any contact info for them.

Ask them to send you the information and where to send payment (location and to who) This way should give you the contact information for them. Start wasting there time as much as they are wasting yours. They will stop trying once they see they are wasting there time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Buddy gets a lot of these calls, and he says they stopped after he started saying "I no longer own that vehicle" to every one that called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I get these calls too. It's actually really pissing me off. They send what appears to be actual mail that looks like a check that was sent and every damn time I open it I'm even more pissed that it's not a check.

unfunnyryan Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 "yeah sure hold on" *put phone down for 5 minutes then hang up* The trick is to not use mute. It's more inconvenient, but they stay on the phone longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Tried that, hasn't worked. They're still calling. The last time I got a similar call I told them they were mistaken, my name is "Hugh G. Rection" and would they be interested in subscribing to a penis enlargement service? No calls since.

TTQ B4U Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Blare music into the phone they will stop calling I just like keeping it nearby. Whether they log any notes in their system or record calls but if they do then it must have been some type of connection error or electronic pulse that occurred. Too bad. http://l.yimg.com/fz/api/res/1.2/mOeOX6mnPr.E6dm6Bxo0Nw--/YXBwaWQ9c3JjaGRkO2g9MzAwO3E9OTU7dz0zMDA-/http://contentinfo.autozone.com/znetcs/product-info/en/US/bli/BH00911/image/3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also inturrupt them and tell them that this is a business line and they are wasting their time calling me. It works as whenever there's a number that doesn't call-pop someone I know from the address book on my phone or what not, I answer the phone as if I'm at work.

Green Bastard Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 You could have a friend help. Act as if you are interested then have a friend make some muffled noises. Yell at him to be quiet or else then ask the telemarketer to go on. Repeatedly interrupt him/her with outbursts until you fake a death or they hang up.

spectragod Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I answer the phone as if I'm at work. ^^^THIS^^^ , when I don't recognize the #, I answer "911, where is your emergency", lots of excuses, they don't call back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I get these calls too. It's actually really pissing me off. They send what appears to be actual mail that looks like a check that was sent and every damn time I open it I'm even more pissed that it's not a check. I recently got some DirectTV mail ad that looked like a hand written graduation invitation even had some random persons address tag on the front.
