THE ANNOYANCE ENGINE: Spam robocalls became profitable scams by exploiting the phone system,…
Nearly every day for the past year, I have been breathlessly informed that the warranty on my vehicle is out of date. The situation is dire: it's the middle of a pandemic, and if the warranty on my vehicle gives out, I could be out a serious chunk of money.
his is a debt collector. They called me a couple of times on the cell, but left no message (nor did I hear the ring). However, I have ZERO DEBT, so it's a wrong number apparently. I don't know what they would say if I heard the ring and answered. However, in looking up this number today and posting it here, I also found THIS on another website in first page of search results:
