Eli5 – Why do so many scammers ask about your car warranty?

517 views

It seems like every scammer is calling about a car warranty. You’d think that most people are ignoring these calls, therefore the scammers are not making any money.

Why do scammers keep trying to call me about a car warranty over and over again?

Scammers need to find out fast if they’re talking to someone senile, confused, or otherwise easily exploited, so they can get through calls quickly. They use objectively bad scripts and cock-brained stories to get sharper call recipients off the line quickly, so they can move on to someone else, mostly old people. It’s pretty disgusting.
