> Everytime I get a call with an urgent message regarding my car's warranty, I run to the basement and pull out the box marked important papers, I then locate the number for the auto manufacturer's warranty department, after listening to hold music for 10 to 300 minutes I am assured I am still covered. Whew! Crisis avoided.
 
Try sticking to the facts and reality. It's very unlikely that you're
going to get an urgent warning from a car warranty company. Never heard
of it happening. However CC companies do call their card holders
occasionally because they've detected unusual activity on their accounts.
So, ignoring a call that says "This is Chase calling with an important message regarding your VISA account", when you know that you have their VISA card
is a really dumb idea. As others have pointed out, if you don't want to
accept the call, their number is on the back of the card. It's also on
the last paper billing statement, available when you log in online, or from
doing a google search. Good grief.
