Do these scams really work?

I just got a "suspicious activity" call about my Apple I Card.

Is there really an Apple I Card?

My mother fell for one.  Gave away credit card info, personal info etc.  It took a long time to sort it out.   I get calls all the time from Visa about numerous charges made to my card overnight.  I ask "Which bank is the card associated with?'  That ends in them hanging up. :)

I receive warnings that the extended warranty on my automobile is about to expire and I need to renew to prevent a price increase. 

I don't own an automobile.

I just answered a call from someone with the same message. It sounded like a real person and they spoke English very well. I hope it was just a recording because I really did laugh out loud as I disconnected.

i normally don’t answer the phone unless I know who is calling but I have so many medical people calling me these days from all kind of locations that I need to answer the phone to find out.

Did you sell it after they took your license away?  Or just lose it when you could not remember where you parked at the mall?

I cussed one as a thief yesterday. He started quite angrily saying I was going to be arrested if I did not buy the IRS a gift card. 

I got an email this week from the fed warning about all the misrepresentations. I don't need to worry about that as I don't respond to the fed until the subpoenas fly.
