How Many Of You Are Being Harassed With Offers To Buy Your Home Or Business Property By Investors?

I get more text messages and mail from these people than from phone scammers these days. They are being really aggressive. They might as well fly a plane pulling a banner with their offer to buy our homes.

I am an old lady, born toward the end of WWII, and all I get is sales calls, some of them outright scams. My favorite one is when a voice on the phone, usually with a strong foreign accent, tells you they are the IRS and if you don't give them money you will go to jail. I tell them I am old, have little money and no family. If they put me in jail, they will have to take care of me. They will have to feed me, do my laundry, and give me medical care; I'd actually be better off in jail! So I tell them to come and arrest me. I ask them if they need directions to my house.
