Extended Auto Warranty Calls

[BLACKDOG]

Anyone get these at home or at work?  I screen my calls at home, but we get them all the time at work.  Of course, It is kind of fun to screw with them.    For some reason they never offer warranties for a 1985 Seagrave, or a 1991 Pierce   I don't know why

I got one today at work, made the lady spend 20 min seeing if she could give me a warranty

"Sir, I've never heard of a vehicle called a Pierce." 

Its real, I promise.

"Well, it isn't coming up in our database."

Can you check again?  Did you spell it right?

"Can you go ahead and spell it for me?"

Of course, P I E R C E.

"Sir, it isn't in our database, I'm sorry."

Are you sure?  That sucks, we could really use a warranty on it.

"Let me check with my supervisor, see what we can do."

"Sir, is this piece of fire apparatus?"

Why yes, it is.

"I'm sorry, we don't warranty fire apparatus, you should speak to the manufacturer about that."

Then can you please stop calling our fire stations?  Thank you.

In my state we have a "no call list " you can put your name on.  It makes it illegal to call you for solicitation purposes unless you are already their customer.  I only get calls from Directv trying to get me to upgrade or my phone company trying to get me to buy long distance.

i think the do not call list is actually a federal thing...... but most companies pay no head to it.... sure.... they will say they didn't know.... but unless you press charges against them, they wont get in trouble...

these extended warranties  are scams, they want you to say "OMG  i dont want my car's warranty to expire. what do i need to do??"  then they have you hook line and creditcard number

the  attorney general here made a tv commercial about it
