I’ve seen this reference so many times, can someone explain it?

There's an extremely common cold call scam where a VOIP calls you to notify you about your car warranty expiring, and for the low, low price of 100s of dollars they'll give you an extended car warranty.

In most first world countries this is illegal.

It's illegal in the US too. That doesn't stop them from calling me and everyone I know.
