Are you receiving those “car warranty” robocalls? Irritating right? Don’t worry, you are far from the only one in this scam attempt.

According to the FTC’s National Do Not Call registry, between December 2019 and December 2020, they received over 327,000 complaints about warranty plans. Nearly 300,000 of those complaints were robocalls.

There are several things you can do to help reduce the number of unwanted calls like these you get.

First, if you don’t know the number, let it ring out. A scammer can’t use their high pressure tactics if they can’t talk to you.

Second, call your cell phone service provider to see if your phone has any blocking features. Some iPhones have a “silence unknown callers” option when you go into your settings. Once you do that, report that number, so you don’t hear from them again.

Third, after you get an unwanted call, you can go to ftc.gov and fill out a complaint. The complaints are extremely important to law enforcement efforts to cut down on the scam calls.
