Do any other home owners get spam texts about selling their house?

Should I start telling them I’ll take nothing less than half a mil for it?

If you want to get off of their list, don’t respond. I just received an unsigned check with a very large number on it for my place. All I have to do is let them come over to inspect it and theyll sign the check. That was a new approach I hadn’t seen.

Unfortunately the check got torn and ended up covered in coffee grounds.

@joe438 One should never reply to any suspicious, unsolicited message!

I wonder what that fraud attempt was trying to do - steal your home perhaps?

@ArishMell if I had to guess, I’d say it was probably legitimate, and when they came to do the appraisal, they would offer me less than the check was written for. I suspect the check was merely an advertisement of their interest.

People do steal titles. If you contact any of these people making offers, you will end up giving them some information which potentially could give them away to steal your title. You’re right-don’t talk to them at all.

GOSH DARN the bad luck! 😡 I hope they were at least grounds from a good coffee brand!
I guess it could have been worse. What if it accidentally got dropped in a shredder?

Yeah it is tempting to give these people h3ll, especially unsolicited calls BUT, what one really does is verify they have a legit contact.
