Talk:This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your vehicle is expiring

If you register your phone number on the National Do Not Call List, they'll get cockslapped by Uncle Sam if you report them for calling you again. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Mustakrakish 10:05, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I get one of these calls every few days. I just hang up, but I never knew it was so widespread. The more you know... Shrubkike was here 13:25, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


I hate these assholes! Everyone I know gets called twice a week from them. Stupidest part is, as soon as you talk to a live person, no matter what you say, they hang up on you. Real effective spamming. Thanks for posting their number. I'll be leaving them two messages a week for the rest of my life. Nam Macs 03:04, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Apparently they're told to wait on the line for at up to fifteen mins if need be. So soon as they phone, say that you need to find a pen and paper and will brb and then just leave the phone off the hook (admit it, no one else is going to call you anyway). Trolling with silence obviously not as enjoyable as yelling at them, but a lot less effort. Bertilak 03:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)


I get this notice a few times also. Though mine might be some sort of alternate strain, because when I call the number listed on my caller ID, I'm always directed to a machine answering system. From there, I navigate through several menus of options ("press 2 for...press 3 for...") and finally tell the damn thing to take me off the callers list. The first few times it wasn't really effective, but recently I haven't received any calls, so I hope I'm in the clear. SHOOP DA WHOOP 06:22, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


This article suffers heavily from the unfunnys. cosmiclolz 21:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

  • It's not our fault you don't have a mobile phone. For those of us that do however, and have suffered at the hands of these fuckers, let me assure you this page is great.--Sneakypete 23:35, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
    • From the way you all seem to get a boner for this then I guess it must be a yank thing 'cause none of us britfags who have seen this article seem to be getting the joke here. If that's the case then feel free to disregard the first remark I made. - cosmiclolz 23:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Faggot wouldn't even let me get out the first syllable of "take me off your list" before he hung up. Next time, GADGET! NEXT TIIIME! --Bad Newbie 02:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I've only gotten one call from them. I hung up, they've yet to call again. I'm kind of disappointed now.--CQd44 6:31, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Just for the record, I work for a phone survey company. Not a LOL FAGGOTRY WARRANTY company, but we do political surveys. Don't Call Lists don't apply to us, which is great for pissing off people when you awkwardly explain it to them. My only advice would be to specifically ask NEVER to be called again and to be removed from the call list, because if you hang up, say "not now", or "i don't have time", or anything with the word "time" in it, or you do anything to piss them off, or if they're just bored (which is often, it's a boring job), they will call you back. Also phone systems are shitty as fuck; we always call businesses and cellphones and unlisted numbers. Sometimes you will get called back regardless, and I'm sure we're probably more professional than solicitation services (but just barely).

Everyone thinks telemarketing calls come from exact place somewhere in the midwest run by some fat asshole with contempt for all mankind, so it's also possible you're just getting calls from multiple places using the same method of pestering. The politicians we call for do it. They use multiple companies to do the same exact surveys, and they call them in from all over the country. I live in Florida and we're calling to elect some douche with a bunch of money in Texas. If it isn't above them, it's not above some hairy fucker in Utah to loop a recording about factory warranties.

In other words, you're all maybe fucked? I don't know. What was my point again? --ADD 15:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
