****. Maybe I'll just give them my credit card number or whatever the hell they want without questioning them.

I've been getting this too. WTF is it? Shouldn't it be illegal to make false calls like this?

I'm pretty sure it IS illegal. There either hasn't been anyone who's actually fallen for this scam and made a lawsuit; or they avoid calling EVERY SINGLE government worker.

I'm just curious when it's going to be my third warning.

I'm curious how they have kept going on without being arrested.

Forget judge.

Forget jury.

Straight to the chopping block.

I haven't gotten that call yet... Is it just in certain areas or certain people?

Holy crap, I get that call all the time.

And I just today got a letter saying the warranty on my car is about to expire. But it's a used car and the warranty expired a long time ago. The letter itself looks legit, but it's probably just a clever fake.

I don't get that call.

What I do get is some call from a dude in Florida, saying that since I've been such a good customer to Claro, I'm gonna get a free digital camera/cruise if I stay on the line.

Fun fact: My sister did one of those to our grandma as a prank--my grandma didn't recognize her, and hung up.

Wait you guys are getting it too? I keep getting those calls and it's wasting my cell minutes.

Also, I don't have a vehicle.

Also, it's been the second notice about 10 times now.

Does this mean you're on the "inside"? You're the mastermind behind this scam, aren't you Razor?

Damn, happens to me all the time. Should I get a new cellphone or just keep the one I found in the guy's car?

That Claro?


Yes!

I friggin' hate those b*st*rds so much...it's one thing that their service sucks like a porn star. It's another that they like to rape with hidden fees...

but when a crappy company dares to use 'It's A Kind Of Magic' for one of their commercials TWICE...that's when it gets personal.

Damn you, Carlos Slim...
