Daily robocalls/sometimes human calls. If a human they can’t get the make nor the model of the vehicle right. As soon as I refuse to give personal information they hang up. Did not attempt to take money but we just didn’t get to that point.

I continuously receive phone calls from the same numbers in which I have informed them to take me off their call list, they say they are different businesses but will not disclose company information. Numbers are 909-352-5473/72/70. Only last 2 digits change which is a coincidence if they are different businesses.

They call daily and will not list when told to not call.

They are trying to get me to buy extended warranty on my vehicle for over $3000, total scam.

I keep getting calls on my cell phone from "This is Allison from the warranty Department" I just hang up at this point. I have tried to block the number and a few days later I get the call again from a different 864-323 number. This have been going on for almost a year. I have not been a victim of anything as I have not fell for any of the tactics and I just hang up. But the amount of times they call is ridiculous and so frustrating.

Automated call from various numbers. When answered they state, Hi this is Alison from the warranty department. We recently send you a final notice….. then asks if you want to get more information about obtaining a warranty. When you say no, they hang up. These calls come in almost daily and it’s highly annoying as they look like local cell phone numbers.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

My husband and I are receiving many calls, in English and Spanish, trying to get a phone payment for an extended warranty on our car. Stating that it has expired and without immediate payment it won’t be able to be reinstated. There is no company name. The initial message (recording/computer) is always with a person with an American accent but as soon as it connects to a “representative” it’s always someone with an Indian accent. The representative I spoke to was obviously not working for a real company. He sexually harassed me and threatened me for “wasting his time” because I asked to be removed from the call list. No company name is ever given- just “warranty department”.

A caller said he was with the warranty department and asked if I still owned a vehicle that my husband purchased several years ago. I said no and he asked if I had a warranty on my current car and I said yes. After I hung up I wondered how my name was associated with my husbands vehicle and why he would ask for me by name. I remembered hearing about the scam where they get you to say yes to something and then record you. I’m worried that I might have fallen for their scam.

The automated call said that a car warranty was about to expire. If I wanted to speak to a representative, then say "Yes."

Sounds like one of those scams where your "yes" is recorded and then used for online voice confirmation.

It was a recording from someone at the "Warranty department" You can tell these calls sound like a real person, but by what they say and the fact that they just keep talking no matter if you answer or not, it’s a recording. They said "Can you hear me?"

I just remained silent for a moment and then hung up. Alot of times, if I get an unrecognized number I don’t answer. Sometimes when I do, I don’t even say hello, I just listen. That’s what I did this time.

On 2/7/2017, at 2:54 p.m. EST, I received a call from (505) 816-7988. I answered the phone call and said "Hello" twice. Finally someone on the other end of the phone answered me by saying "This is the Warranty Department, can you hear me?" Without thinking, I said "Yeah." Then I quickly remembered that I had seen a television show a few days ago talking about a scam where someone asks if you can hear them then uses your recorded answer to enter you into a verbal contract. So I hung up. The call only lasted 13 seconds. The call caught me off guard, and even though I had seen the television show, my instinct to answer her question of whether I could hear her happened before I could realize what I had done. I was preoccupied by the fact that I needed to go pick up my son from elementary school. I hope it wasn’t a scam, but I fear it was! Please let me know what I can do if it was a scam. Thank you.

Multiple phone calls, often local numbers but always with in the 330 area code. It is a recorded call that starts out, "This is Allison from the warranty dept. Can you hear me?" Or the other call is " Hello, Oh sorry I dropped my head set, Can you hear me?

They had a warning on the Today Show. They mentioned specifically the Can you hear me calls and said not to say YES because the scammer records your voice saying yes and are often able to make purchases with your recorded approval of yes.

Received two calls from the same number at 1:09 PM and 2:11 PM Eastern Time on Feb 6 2016.

Recording said vehicle warranty expired…final notice….even though they call from a different number everyday.

Asked if I’d like to speak to a warranty specialist. I said yes in order to ask my number not be called any more. The call ended immediately after I said yes. This made me suspicious so I looked online and saw numerous "say yes" scams being reported. This is obviously one of them. I suppose I’ll be billed for a product and threatened with legal action if i don’t pay….since I was recorded as saying yes.

The call sounded like a real person but the pauses in-between responses were longer than usual. I heard about this type of scam on the Orlando, FL news channel. Only to realize this has just happened to me.. The scammers have not called back to demand a payment with the resording of my voice. The scammers call and ask, "can you hear me?" When you answer yes, they record you saying yes and then call back later demanding payment for a service with the recording of your voice as proof that you agreed to purchase their product.

Robo Call from 614347899, 6143331301, and several other local numbers. Difficult to avoid answering as they are local numbers and could be legit. Voice is a computer that says, "This is Allison from the warranty department. Can you hear me ok?" If you aren’t rude, she says she has "a special opportunity that could save you thousands of dollars when your warranty expires." If you ignore the call, it will ring back in just a minute making you think it’s an urgent call, sometimes as many as 5 times.

Obviously, what product that needs a warranty extension is never mentioned.
