Googling the business brought me to this blog. The operator (a man) asked if I wanted the lower interest rate. I asked him on what card and he repeated the question. The second or third time he asked me wether or not I understood the question. When I asked who was really calling, he hung up. Good luck on the lawsuit. If they have taken anyone with this scam they deserve more than just that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06272560687270486575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-65254582046884471352008-02-25T20:22:00.000-07:002008-02-25T20:22:00.000-07:00Verizon, and Philadelphia here.Verizon, and Philadelphia here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-49199850189719863392008-02-25T19:29:00.000-07:002008-02-25T19:29:00.000-07:00Just received a call at 9pm est.

When the man answered, he didn't say his name or the company name, just asked, "whats the year and make of your vehicle", and I replied by asking him if he had my information on his computer screen, if he could see my phone number, and he said, "no, just a phone", like he was the one that was being inconvenienced, then he hung up on me!!! This is wrong, and it wasn't even my home phone, it was my cell phone that he called, which costs money per minute of airtime usage!! Someone needs to stop this scam, IF THEY CALL YOU, JUST GO ALONG WITH IT AND FIND OUT "POLITELY" WHAT THE NAME OF THE COMPANY IS!!!!!!! Then please post it on this message board so others know, and can do something about it. I hope Lippard does decide to use his credit card and purchase it then sue the company. I am with AT&T, and live in Pennsylvania, are you guys from this area, too, or just all over the U.S.??

I wasn't thinking and I pressed 2 to disconnect instead of just hanging up, and then it said your number has been removed (or something of that nature). Do you guys think that pressing a number could give them any type of information? I'm starting to get a little worried that I shouldn't have pressed any number or anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-28922224399757330062008-02-25T16:28:00.000-07:002008-02-25T16:28:00.000-07:00There is no way this is legit, and they "got your ...There is no way this is legit, and they "got your number" by calling all numbers in an area in sequence with an autodialer.<BR/><BR/>These guys are con artists running a boiler room operation.Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15453937.post-24243774189944337402008-02-25T15:30:00.000-07:002008-02-25T15:30:00.000-07:00I *HIGHLY* doubt the call is legit.

I pressed 1 to talk to a live operator, who immediately asked me for the year and make of my car. I asked what company is providing the warranty, and he hung up on me.
