The Sewing Mom

I have been receiving the most annoying phone call for the past several months. My phone rings. I answer it. The automated voice on the other end says my vehicle warranty is about to expire and would I like to purchase and extended warranty now, if so, press 1. If I would like to be removed from the calling list, press 2. Of course, I press 2, but weeks later, the call comes again.

This is a problem for a couple of reasons, the biggest being that at no point in the call, and I’ve listened to it many times, does it ever identify exactly who the company is that is calling or which vehicle it is talking about. This is either a random marketing call or, a complete scam. It drives me even more crazy because the call comes in on my cell phone, a very private number and it’s listed on the “Do Not Call Registry”.

My caller i.d. isn’t identifying the number, it says “unknown”. The next time I get a call from that number, and I’m sure I will, I’m going to use reverse phone lookup to track down exactly who this is and then I’m going to report the company for harassment. The service from TraceNumber.com can be used on land lines as well as cell phones and will look up the name and address of any unknown phone number. So, if this nuisance is calling from the United States or Canada, I should be able to identify who they are.

For now, I’m just going to enjoy the fact that my phone has been quiet for the last couple of days!
