Do any of them actually sell extended warranties? I assumed they were scammers.
(Also, I wish Nationwide would stop trying to sell to me over the phone. They're amazingly persistent.)
- CWuestefeld 4y agoIf we're guessing that this is all fraud anyway, why would we think that a law against phone spam would be where the spammers draw the line, the crime they're not willing to commit? Won't they keep spamming, just like they're already defrauding?
- blep_ 4y agoOh, you mean the scam "warranty" industry and not the real warranty industry. My mistake.
- CWuestefeld 4y agoI'm not disagreeing with you here. I'm just trying to follow the idea to its conclusion.
- nullc 4y agoBecause of the amount of plausible deniability it gives to their service providers: "We didn't think it was a /scam/ just a legit telemarketing operation."

From what I've heard[1], the "extended warranties" are grey market car maintenance insurance that basically exclude everything you might expect from coverage, and anything that might be covered, it's reimbursement only, they don't pay up front. The only thing it is good for is liberating people of their money. [1] https://www.npr.org/transcripts/983109732 https://www.npr.org/transcripts/983109732
