Spammy calls from 800-219-7425
Posted in General on December 26th, 2008 by slacy – 18 CommentsEver since we bought our new Toyota Prius from Capitol Toyota in San Jose, CA, I’ve been getting spammy calls from 800-219-7425.
Generally, it says “This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your car has expired. You still have time to renew it, press 1 to speak with a representative”.
I’ve spoken with them several times telling them to remove my name from the list and stop calling. They have not. I saw another missed call from this number today (12/26/2008 – the day after XMas!) and decided to do some research. I found a couple of interesting websites. The most interesting is this Press Release from the Missouri Attorney General talking about what they’ve done to try to stop these people.
Additionally, if you’re getting calls from these guys, take a look at telemarketinglawsuit.com, which seems to have some good info on the fact that these guys are a huge scam and are defrauding people left and right, in addition to calling them incessantly and not removing them from their “do not call” lists.
Additionlly, I think that if you have any business with Capitol Toyota in San Jose, CA, that you make sure you get them to sign a release that says that they won’t give or sell your personal information to anyone. I’m completely positive that it’s their fault for putting me on this list.
