I keep getting robocalls about my car's warranty expiring — is this a scam?

Yes — the “your car's warranty is about to expire” robocall is one of the longest-running phone scams in the US, and it has nothing to do with your actual car, dealer, or manufacturer, none of whom have your number tied to a warranty database. The service sold is either wildly overpriced or nonexistent, and pressing any number “to speak to a representative” or “to be removed” usually just confirms your number is live for more calls. Hang up without pressing anything, and report the number to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
