US Fidelis: The warranty on your vehicle is about to expire!

More and more Americans are receiving calls with a computerized voice saying, "This is the final notice. The factory warranty on your vehicle is about to expire," several times a day on their cell or land lines. The calls come even if a person has signed up for the national "do not call" registry.

US Fidelis is not making outgoing, unsolicited phone calls. In fact, we applaud Sen.

Our company has had to take various forms of legal action not only to stop misconception about who is making these calls, but also to correct negative impressions these calls leave. Vehicle service contracts are an important component to extending the life of one’s vehicle, especially in times like these, and US Fidelis has taken great steps to ensure that consumers can choose coverage plans from reputable, stable companies. Furthermore, US Fidelis invites all companies in this field to join us in living up to the high standards we have established for ourselves to treat each consumer honestly and fairly. That is how we have cultivated long-term relationships with more than 270,000 current customers.

Oh Erica...tsk tsk tsk....

US Fidelis doesn't make unsolicited calls, but the marketing companies they hire do. LOL. Obviously the company wants unsolicited calls made, or they wouldn't hire the marketing company, would they? Of course not. If US Fidelis was concerned about "...the manner in which telemarketing companies are operating within our industry...", or "...the negative impression these calls leave.", than the simple solution is to NOT USE THE SERVICES OF THESE TELEMARKETING COMPANIES!!! But, they do, and will continue to do so. Your post is a perfect example of why people should avoid US Fidelis. They are OBVIOUS scammers, and your post is further evidence of that.
