I get at least a couple of spam calls a week for the car warranty thing. It's clear Subaru has sold my info; the good news is that's the only negative experience I've had with that brand.
I get the warranty people all the time. I really like to keep them on the like for as long as possible. They are robo-calls, Mike, shots in the dark. I got them all the time for my last 2 cars that didn't even have extended warranties.
I also get a lot of the police/fire/veteran's associations, coming from unlisted numbers. I let them give their spiel, and then ask for them to slowly repeat the name and address of their association, so that I can look it up on Charity Navigator. They hang up, every time.
I guess they could be random calls, BK, which makes me feel better about Subaru.
The other spam calls I get regularly use the same exchange (the 3 numbers after the area code) as my phone number. I live in a small town in the mountains, and almost never get calls from folks up here, so those calls go right to spam.
I get at least two a day, and it went up after I got laid off this summer and had to do a job search which requires your phone number be entered in third party sites that screen resumes for companies and then sell your information.
I get robo calls from Medicare supplement sales (I'm set), extended car warranties (2004 car), MS Windows (I only have apple)... I don't have caller ID on my home (landline) phone so it's become part of my exercise program; the phone rings, I get up and answer it, I hang up.
Car warranty calls and spoof (same exchange as me) calls that never leave a message.
I get more spam messages than calls. I either "won" something or my Netflix/PayPal/Verizon/Whatever is being canceled, whether I subscribe to it or not.

It's an Opportunity to sell
It's an Opportunity to sell 'them' an even better Warranty then what they are dealing.
I offer a 3-year Firewood Warranty, with terms and Conditions, for a reasonable price.
So far, no takers, but they never call again.

Same here. My number also
Same here. My number also used to be a business line so I get the "Google listing" people. They'll never stop.
I love when I answer and I hear ringing then someone answers "Hello, and thanks for calling..." even though they actually called me. Pretty psychotic.
