Default A scam to be aware of.

We have got several of these type calls over the past year or two. Deal directly with your auto dealership instead of falling for this.

Got this exact call last night - funny you should mention it.

Pushed '1' to connect, asked the droid that answered who their 'bot' was calling, and he hung up on me.

I never do business with scammers or spammers.

Reminds me of the calls we used to get offering to re-finance our home....

Its paid for dipstick :rotfl:

In hindsight I should have taken them up on the offer then defaulted on the loan and let the federal goverment bail me out.

What a dumb ass I am.
