I just received one of the best scam phone calls every to my cell phone (I seem to be getting more and more of these calls to my cell phone and it pisses me off).

The call came from (916) 219-8163

It was an automated recording that said the following:

This is the second time we've called to notify you that the warranty on your vehicle is about to expire. Driving without a warranty can lead to serious problems and you should renew your warranty immediately. We will not call you again, if you do not renew your warrant we will remove your file from our system. Please press 1 to speak with a representative or press 2 to be taking of our calling list

Given that I'd already answered, I figured I might as well have some fun, so I pressed 1.

The remainder of the call went like this:

> "Hello sir, can I get your name"
< "Yes... it's Tyler Jones J-O-N-E-S"
> "Thank you sir and I just need to confirm the vehicle you drive"
< "I don't own a vehicle.. but I have a bike"
> "Does anyone in your home have a vehicle sir?"
< "Nope... we all have bikes"
> "Oh, just to confirm your number was 647-828-6206, we'll put you on our do not call list"
*click*

I didn't get to have nearly as much fun as I wanted... next time they call back I'm definitely going to own a car.
