My car warranty

Scammers still calling. A few days ago, one actually called on the house number at 7 AM, about that oh so important car warranty. (eye roll) I actually have two cars. I just bought a Nissan Rogue used and bought an extended warranty for it (which has already paid off a little). I have another 55,000 miles before it expires. My old car, a Dodge Grand Caravan, has a lifetime warranty. What? Lifetime? Yep, seriously. Chrysler used to sell those. It has paid for itself a few times over. The dealer really wants me to sell that car so they don't have to deal with me any more, but the old lady is still in pretty good shape for an almost 14 year old care with over 260,000 miles. But back to these stupid scammers. One of these days, I swear I'm going to mess with them like a certain other person here does, and talk to them like I'm serious about whether they can get me a better warranty than my already paid for lifetime warranty. I wonder how long I can keep them going before they get wise and hang up on me. But I tell you, it will be worth it after the one idiot called at 7 AM.

Haha those scammers. Maybe if they call me I’ll just hand it over to the kids to talk the ears off of them.

Nobody calls me. That's right, nobody. The phone rings and nobody's there.

7am is a bit early for this sort of phone call. And I can understand the dealer wanting you to sell the car!

Easy to do on a cell. They called on the landline.

mine is usual automated calls so that wouldn't really work. The new phone has a feature that says " likely scam" if the number isn't in my phone

I should. I think about 12-13 years ago I posted a conversation between a friend and a scammer. It was hilarious...

My son has a Nissan Rogue and loves it. I wouldn't sell the Dodge Caravan either if it's still working great.

Scammers usually will continue bother persons until they get caught by the authorities or they fail in their attempt to make money.

I'm pretty sure it was Monday, which was a holiday. If it had been Tuesday - Friday I would have been awake and working already. Still would have been annoyed though.
