Today I got a call from one of the auto warranty scammers, with a caller ID of 516-858-7142. This is the first time these crooks have hit my home phone number. (I'm on the Do Not Call list and unlisted.) I've filed a report.
A comment on whocallsme.com says that these people demand that victims provide their name, address, and social security number to be removed from their list. This simply shows the operation is in the business of identity theft as well as fraud.
