'''Auto warranty robocalls''' are a series of [[scam]] [[robocalls]] in [[North America]] originating from the Sumco Panama company. The call typically begins "We're trying to reach you about your extended warranty"; it is a [[phishing]] scam intended to trick the caller into calling the provided number and then submit their [[credit card]] details to extend their non-existent warranty.

Over 58 billion of these fradulent robocalls have been made since [[2021]]. Beginning in July 2022, the [[Federal Communications Commission]] ordered telecom providers to cease carrying calls from the Sumco Panama Company.<ref>https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/21/tech/fcc-robocall-crackdown/index.html</ref>
