Scam Alert 2
From the Virginian-Pilot. Follow the link for more detail:
The automated telephone message said the car’s warranty was expiring and this was the last notice.
It said to press 1 to talk with a representative. The guy on the other end gave only a first name, but Caller I D showed his number as (416) 523-1121. He asked a lot of questions, wanting the make, model, year of the car and other details.
He’ll call again, tomorrow or the day after, even if told to stop.
The Federal Trade Commission and other groups are trying to find and stop these folks, but the agency doesn’t appear to be succeeding in Hampton Roads and elsewhere.

We get those calls on both the van, & Chris’ motorcycle. I hang up on them.

If I don’t recognize the callerID, i figure, “That’s what answering machines are for.”
