We can help!
Most days we each get over 10 “Scam Likely” calls. It’s getting to the point that we don’t even pick up an unknown number, which is problematic considering much of our livelihood consists of being available to clients by phone!
Enough is enough, and we’re taking action. We each recently signed up our cell phone numbers to the www.DoNotCall.gov registry, but we know from experience that won’t be enough. There is an additional step we’ve taken, and we encourage you to do the same.
As crazy as this may sound, the credit reporting agencies are legally allowed to sell your contact information to solicitors. It’s common that after we pull a credit report for a client who wants to obtain a mortgage that the client is bombarded by aggressive sales calls from other mortgage companies. They claim this promotes consumer shopping alternatives, but in reality it’s borderline harassment! Thankfully, there is a way to stop it.
Go to www.OptOutPreScreen.com and select to Opt-Out of being included on these annoying marketing lists. It takes just a couple of minutes, and doing so reduces the unwanted calls and texts (good for you) and keeps the unscrupulous folks in my industry from having a sleezy way to shortcut their way to customers (good for you and us!).
