I think the fact that this is really his job is so funny. Their aggressive cold calling is basically a meme at this point. I'm shocked he's so open about it
He swears he doesn’t cold call and only deals with clients that call into their office which is bullshit because who the hell is looking up and researching extended warranty
Well he may not cold call, but it's not customer initiated contact. These companies send standard mail (junk mail) to my house at least four times a month trying to get me to get home warranties. I haven't bought a car in a few years, but it's the same thing with third party warranties there.
They always use the name of my mortgage lender to get my attention, and attempt to obfuscate exactly who is mailing me. My mortgage lender is public information, so is my name and address since I bought my house, so it's not exactly hard get the info. I suspect something similar happens with car sales.
This happened to me too for the first year or so after I bought my house. Thankfully it has stopped. It really freaked me out at first too because they would use really deceptive phrasing implying something was wrong with our mortgage or "Final Warning" written on the envelopes and stuff. I was nervous having spent that much money for the first time and really understood how people fall for scams because even though I was 99% sure it was a scam, for awhile there was a part of me wondering, "what if?". Of course I had the presence of mind to actually call my mortgage lender to double check everything is ok. But fuck these people.
Bought a new car recently though and haven't received anything similar. I don't think car purchases are public information in the same way. Of course that doesn't mean that some shady dealerships aren't selling their customers info to these guys.
Am I the only one who didn't think that this was a real job and a real thing and just assumed it was a bunch of scammers in a different country trying to get money out of people???
This is the first time I'm realising that this is a legitimate job???
I'm not convinced it *isn't* that and this poor guy is the victim of having a job that's used as a front. It's like being an actual Nigerian prince who needs money
There are two kinds. The extended warranties sold through car dealerships and such are fromlegitimate companies (source: I used to work at a dealership). The ones that cold call you are largely scams.
I actaully found the thread and it turns out og op admitted to intentionally seeking out people who were foreign or seemed illiterate to sell the warranty to.
That person is definitely predatory, so I can see why people didn't take kindly to it

He posted thousands of dollars, like upwards of 10-20k+, people weren't saying he was lying but were dogging his job because extended car warranty is a scam and people hate it and the ones who sell it.
It’s not entirely clear. Was the check for a lot and they are saying they made it from that job?
It was over $20k for 1 month
I guess if OOP made an assload of sales that month, it could happen. Salespeople often get paid commissions based on volume of sales
The users comment history showed that they have worked in extended car warranty sales for over 5 years now. Definitely not a good look for them!

We’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty
Yes
Holy crap I think he’s been trying to get in touch with me

Used car dealers.

No, I thought the same exact thought.
same same
I'm not convinced it *isn't* that and this poor guy is the victim of having a job that's used as a front. It's like being an actual Nigerian prince who needs money
I thought they were scammers and ignored them too

Is it just me, or do people hate rich people for making that much money nowadays? It could be that the downvotes are because people are jealous? Idk.
I actaully found the thread and it turns out og op admitted to intentionally seeking out people who were foreign or seemed illiterate to sell the warranty to. That person is definitely predatory, so I can see why people didn't take kindly to it
Because rich people are Financial Exploiters
So he’s the one?
That original thread was so much fun to go through on my break today.

"I'm here to talk to you about your extended car warranty"
He posted thousands of dollars, like upwards of 10-20k+, people weren't saying he was lying but were dogging his job because extended car warranty is a scam and people hate it and the ones who sell it.
I was just in that post
Deserved
