Stay alert when you hear a scripted warranty pitch—these calls often use urgent language to push a quick response. The caller repeatedly mentions an expired car warranty and prompts you to press a key, a classic hallmark of automated telemarketing scams. Hang up immediately and do not provide any personal or financial information. If you’re unsure, verify your warranty status directly through your dealer or manufacturer’s official website, not through a phone prompt. Blocking the number and reporting it to your carrier can help reduce future attempts. Remember, legitimate companies rarely demand immediate action via a press‑1 command.
