The car warranty amuses/annoys me for the same reason, I drive two cars over 25, well past 200K and both from defunct manufacturers, so I really doubt any warranty would touch them. Same thing with the "student loan forgiveness hotline"-- I haven't had any for years. I used to have a bit of fun with the "Microsoft tech support" calls, since we didn't have a Windows computer in the house.
Recently I've had a few calls that just said "I'm actually calling to inform him now," so I think the callers don't really care what the content of the call is as long as they can get you to call them back. And maybe if you're gullible enough to call them back, you're gullible enough to give them money.
