    State officials issued a joint consumer alert warning Mississippians about deceptive auto warranty solicitation calls. They have received several complaints about callers claiming a car's warranty is about to expire and needs to be extended immediately. However, the consumer may not actually have a warranty or it may not be expiring. Consumers who purchase such policies often find they are denied reimbursement or cannot contact the company later.
