Cold-called my cell phone, hung up on me

May 23, 2008

Great Atlantic Warranty complaint by Rixter

I received a computerized call on my cell phone claiming that my vehicle warranty had expired. The nature of the call and fact that they didn't mention a manufacturer or the type of my car made me quite suspicious (and a bit pissed off). I pressed 1 to speak with a representative who said "warranty department" and asked for the VIN number of my car. I said, "warranty department of what company." He seemed surprised and said, "this is GAW." "What's GAW," I asked. That's when he hung up on me.

These people are crooks and should be shut down.

these people definantly need to be shutdown- spam in my email doesn't cost me any thing but to call my cell phone (which is a private number)- it's very obnoxious

it would be a good thing for society if these people were shutdown

The same thing happend to me, i was suspicious of the call because my theory is- if my factory warranty is out on my vehicle, they should already have that information for me. Not to mention- I would know what company I would be dealing with. Out of all the cars i have bought in the passed, I have never received any calls that my vehicle warranty was going to expire- i only would receive notices in the mail. Never HARRASING phone calls. They call several times a day, hang up on you when you try and figure out who is trying to STEAL your money... its ridiculous. I am glad I didn't fall for their scam- and I feel bad for those who have. Beware!!!!
