Scam Identity Theft Calls to Cell Phones Tout Expiring Auto Warranty, Coming from 408-587-2116 and 623-238-6228

Summary: People across the country are reporting telephone calls coming from the numbers (623) 238-6228 and (408) 587-2116. These calls claim that your car warranty is expiring, but they are really scam artists trying to steal your personal information and identity. So if the number appearing on your cellphone screen is either (623) 238-6228 or (408) 587-2116, don't answer it! Other numbers generating these spam identity theft calls include (202) 552-1332, (702) 520-1105, (609) 948-0971 and (562) 289-8136.

Thanks, SlyFox.
I had a missed call on my cell a few months ago and when I called it back it was a number in the Dominican Republic and I got charged $6 for the call!!! I guess it's a big scam thing that's happening.

You are welcome Bailey3.

YES, no matter where you look, some one is always trying to find something new to SCAM people with. Years ago we never ever had these problems we have now. Too bad we could not turn the clocks back to the 60's through the 80's. Wishful thinking!

Thanks for posting back and PLEASE enjoy your evening with your love ones!

SlyFox Very Happy Very Happy
