YOLO COUNTY, Calif. -- Solicitors who claim to offer extended automobile warranties could be scammers who want your money, Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said.Reisig said the people who call often ask for your personal and credit card information."We recommend that if you receive this type of phone call ask the solicitor for a contact phone number. After carefully reviewing your auto warranty then call the company back," Heidi D'Agostino, enforcement officer of the Consumer Fraud Division, said in a statement. "Typically, once a consumer calls back they find that the phone number is not working or does not accept incoming phone calls."
Reisig urges people to report any solicitations that appear odd or too good to be true to police.
