Pacific Guard Warranty Extended Auto Warranty Scam Artists Pleasant Hill, California
Recently, I was bamboozled into buying extended auto warranty from these shady people. They go by Pacific Guard Warranty. I picked up the phone from an unrecognized number, which was THE worst mistake i've made in my life.
So from the start, these people use high pressure salesman techniques to induce me into buying extended auto warranty. Had my car not been experiencing problems the past year, I would have never have given it a second thought. Since, I was tired of payin out of pocket for my car, I foolishly gave this company a chance to dupe me into buying extended warranty.
so here's what they did when they called me, they would transfer me at least 4 times to different people acting like it was an important call and displaying the urgency of the situation. sign 1 that it was fishy.
2nd sign it was fishy, i never heard of the company in my life. they told me they were in business for over 30 years blah blah blah.
3rd sign, i kept telling them that i needed to go home and do some research before i could make my decision, however, they would just not take No for an answer. The chick kept tellin me that she would not be able to offer this SPECIAL RATE for me the next day. haha. i should have known that it was scam then too.
they also assured me that i had 30 days to cancel the policy if for any reason i did not want it. at this point, i was like "what do i have to lose? why not?"
then she threw in there was a cancellation fee, which i had asked to get waived. reluctantly, she agreed to waive the fee.
Boy was i wrong, i lost my time dealing with these losers and wastes of human beings. im a full time student, dealing with student loans and have no time or money to waste on
as soon as i went home to do some research on the company, guess what? i google the phone number they called me from and the first search result is RIP OFF REPORT. I was like "OH NO" these a holes! I just got BAMBOOZLED!!
I called immediately to cancel.
a few weeks ago, i get a call from them telling me that i need to make payments to them. I was like "yeah right" im not paying u schmucks! didn't i cancel like 2 months ago. Then they tell me that i didnt fax something to them, which I was never aware of and tell me there gonna send me to a collection agency.
im a student who really doesnt have time for this BS right now. if anyone is in my shoes please tell me what my options are to deal with these shady people.
i would never wish this upon anybody, this is why im writing this.
take care and dont get bamboozled!

KNOWN TELEMARKETING SCAM 800NOTES WEBSITE
#2Consumer Comment
Tue, March 10, 2009
800NOTES is a website that you can use to find who keeps calling your from unknown numbers. Just enter the phone # and if there are other reports for it, you can enter complaints about it. One of the hottest' scams in the telemarketing industry these days involves companies that sell Auto-Warranties. It's usually a robo-call. The recording starts with: This is your final notice! The warranty on your car is about to expire Of course, the caller has no idea whether you even have a car, not to mention its warranty. After the recording is played you are connected to a live operator who often refuses to send anything in the mail until you make your first payment. The experienced salesman will use high-pressure tactics rushing you into making a payment. Victims, who fell for the scam and extended their warranties report that the companies often fail to send any paperwork and routinely deny policy payments. Tracing the calls to the companies is difficult. The calls often come from telemarketing centers located overseas. Also, the companies often spoof their caller ID information to display someone's else's real number. When people receive these calls they dial the number they see on Caller ID and leave angry messages for an unsuspecting victim. Two-three days later the telemarketers change the Caller ID number and the scam continues.
