How do you we know this? When we WERE getting the phone calls, we were getting them from SEVERAL phone numbers. Once we followed the script and found the name of the company selling the warranties, then threatened them with legal action, they stopped calling. ALL OF THE NUMBERS STOPPED CALLING. Thus we have concluded that the same company was calling, regardless of the number they were calling from.

Following the same logic…Many of you have received calls from 800-219-7425. Recently, the same people submitting evidence about calls from this number are submitting evidence about calls from 800-168-4861.

What kind of information do we still need? We need you to continue to follow the script. Continue to attempt to find out the name of the company selling the warranties. That way we can link the numbers (used by the telemarketing agency) with the warranty sales company (client of the telemarketing agency). Look through your phone records and see if you are being contacted by both 800-168-4861 and 800-219-7425. As always, make sure to submit this information via the evidence entry form.

The other company identified has been calling from 580-822-3386. This company provided a contact number of 1-866-338-7877 EXT. 7003. This is the number to the call center. The website provided by the Warranty Representative was www.1winnerscircle.com. The actual name of the company is relatively unclear at this point, but the name given during the phone conversation was:

This is the address of Dealer’s Warranty. The contact number given in the directory for this business is (636) 757-7501.

The Warranty Representative , Cory, said that he was working at a call center in St. Louis. Because he naively provided his cell phone number, we had a chance to speak with him later. He said that he had been working this job for approximately two (2) weeks and that he had no idea that anything they were doing was illegal. “We only take in coming calls”….”We don’t call anyone”… He said that the calls are pre-screened by someone else (their hired telemarketing agency) and they are connected through to him after the required information is collected.

Although the Federal Auto Protection Notification Center is not actually placing the calls, it is relatively safe to assume that they are partially or fully responsible. Therefore, anyone who has been contacted by them or their hired telemarketing agency could file a lawsuit against them.

Special thanks to our users for following the Evidence Collection Guidelines and identifying two of the companies responsible for these illegal telemarketing phone calls. This is VERY important because now those victims wishing to begin their own lawsuits can readily identify those responsible for violating their privacy. In addition, if enough visitors come to The Telemarketing Lawsuit Depository and submit evidence against these two companies, we may have grounds to file a class action lawsuit, surely stopping these companies from their illegal practices.

If you have been contacted by 580-822-3386 or 800-219-7425 please submit an Evidence Entry Form. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Update:

It is important for everyone to remember that there are two (2) goals here. The first goal can be achieved by following the script provided here. This should get you the name of the company trying to sell you the warranties.

The other goal is trickier. The attorney general of MO couldn’t even complete this goal. The issue is that most of the warranty companies are not placing the calls. They only take “incoming” calls. Those phone calls are placed by a sub-contracted company. As you know, if you “press one to speak with a representative” and you express interest in anything except buying a warranty, they will hang up on you. In addition, they use spoofed and/or outbound only numbers that are very difficult to trace. Thus the reason that not even attorney general Jay Nixon could track down the people responsible for actually placing the calls.

Now…it is still possible to sue the warranty companies, as Mr. Nixon did last summer. However, it would be even easier, and much more effective, to sue the telemarketing agency used by the warranty companies. In order to do this, however, you have to know who the telemarketing agency is.

We have been in contact with the following:

• FTC
• FCC
• Missouri Attorney General’s Office
• National Telemarketing Victim Call Center (NTVCC)
• Fraud Investigation Department of Several Telcos
• YOU

We have achieved the second goal, determining the firm responsible for placing the calls. Guess which bullet on the aforementioned list helped us achieve the goal? YOU!!! Users of this website provided the valuable information needed to make the connections. Now we have the Missouri’s AG office asking us for information! If you helped out, pat yourselves on the back!!!

I really really really want to tell you the name of the responsible company. However, I don’t want them to erase any information that we could get through subpoena. Therefore, I am going to hold off for a while. Just know that we HAVE this information.

The next step is to continue to pursue goal number one (1). This is important because we need to link as many of the phone numbers to as many warranty companies as possible, thus linking the warranty companies (and the phone numbers) with the known telemarketing agency.
