WE WILL FIGHT THEM ON THEIR VOICE MAIL, AND IN THEIR WEB SITES: It's been five months since I last complained here about those annoying "this is your second notice" auto-warranty robo-calls that I keep getting on my office (never list number on commercial transactions), home (do not call), and cell (illegal to robo-call) lines. Some Reddit users didn't just get mad, though, they (tried) to get even, flooding putative violator Auto One's voice mail boxes with prank calls and messages. Pity poor David Tabb of Auto One, who says, in his company's defense, that "ninety percent" of the retaliators have never been contacted by his company, and that he pays a premium to ensure that the irritating advert reaches only people who have opted in to receiving solicitations. I'm sure he's telling the truth, because why would the guy who authored the forthright and not at all misleading "this is your second notice that the auto warranty on your car is about to expire" message lie?
