Is there a car warranty scam going around?

I received a call today about my car warranty... this was like the third this week so out of interest I went ahead and spoke with the people. The more and more I think about the conversation, the more I'm convinced it is some kind of scam.

I asked them why they called me... they said "because your car warranty is up." Yet they did not know what my vehicle was. They asked me how to pronounce my first name (which is incredibly easy), I think my caller ID is set to display as F Last because they knew my last name and then they found my address pretty quickly.

Anybody else getting these calls?
