Description

He sent a piece of mail about my cars factory warranty. Immediately answered the call wanting to know if i was calling about extending my warranty. He went on to explain how my car is old and used and this would be a one time exception they would make for me. I said I would call back because I was at work. He proceeded to say that if I hung up I was agreeing to closing out my account and losing this warranty. He then asked how I would be paying the $188 for the first installment and then he would send me an email to confirm everything. I told him I didn't want to send my information over the phone and he said it's a recorded call and that the information would be lost as soon as the call was over. I asked him again how much it was and he was progressively getting angrier by my questions. I told him I couldn't hear him because of the background noise and he kept asking me if I was denying the warranty on a recorded call and I kept saying yes and he kept repeating it was a bad idea.
