Auto Warranty Robocall Scammers Busted
ectotherm writes "The nice people behind the recorded phone messages stating 'By now you should have received your written note regarding your vehicle warranty expiring...' — the ones who instantly hang up when you ask for the name of the company — have been busted. Fox News did a little background digging on the four people charged." Don't know about you, but I received three or four postcards in the mail from these scammers, as well as uncountable robocalls. The FTC says they cleared $10M since 2007.
Shit I forgot if you bad mouth FOX news on slashdot it is considered flamebait? WTF? Seriously, if you are that passionate about FOX news you must work for them. FOX has been the basis for jokes for since their inception. Including jokes by FOX shows themselves.
I find a hard time believing people without some sort of agenda would mod these posts the way they did.
Best Jammie Thomas re-trial coverage in the media This report ticks all the boxes:
- What happened on the original trial
- Why there is a retrial
- What MediaSentry did
- The dirty things the RIAA did (finally someone in the mass media pointing this out!)
- Camara's new strategy
and more.
The writer of this article did his homework thoroughly. The RIAA gets a good bludgeoning here.
