    Have any of you been absolutely non stop harassed by people looking to lend you money? I mean I’m getting twenty plus calls a day from these leeches. I think someone has put my number down somewhere but no one is owning up to it yet:) 98% of these calls are Indian speaking men which makes it more interesting. Like who gives them their information and not expect to be cleaned out?

    Same with me. I just block their number. Although seems like a losing battle with all the other crap that calls me

    i got a text, on my cell phone no less from Bank of America, telling me that my account ATM card has been used fraudulently, and that i should call them and confirm my information.

    well...i ain't got no Bank of America anything.

    if it ain't one thing it's another. phishing scams are every where.

    Everyday, I don’t bother answering any calls. Leave a message if it’s important. Lots of lines of credit for $150k, etc.
     
    BennysPennys, Grumppy, alds and 4 others Thank this.

    Oh gosh, I got probably at least 100 combined emails and texts, from companies that could save me money on insurance when it was my renewal time a few weeks ago.

    The companies with business loans call me from all types of different area codes.

    I got a new one yesterday, a text from a woman named Lori and she said, someone gave her my number and told her I lived (at my address) and asked me would I be interested in selling my house or any other properties I own.
