Phone Scam Warning   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1877 of 1897 |
Everyone,

While you may know about this by now, I'd like to point everyone to this site: http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-562-228-7160
The phone number at the tail end of there is from a company called Great Atlantic Warranty.  They are phone scammers, claiming that your car warranty (no matter if they believe you have a car or not) is near to, or out of, expiration. There are a couple phone numbers that are attached to this company, including a pair of 800 numbers that don't cost you a dime to call, but can cost them per call.

1-888-898-8778
1-888-858-8448
 
If you're like Shane right now, and on Dial-up, there are some free programs that you can use to force-dial these numbers, hang up, and dial again (and wash, rinse, repeat, every few seconds).

If you get this call, a recorded message will tell you that your car warranty is about to expire, and that you can press 1 to talk to a representative.  If you do, use this script: http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html  Find out as much information as possible from them, and DO NOT give them any of your info.  Period.
The only other option the voice tells you is to press 9 to be removed from the call list.  It does not work, so don't bother.

This was a public service announcement, from your friendly neighborhood Marshmellow.
