No this was legit. This was a mortgage inquiry form on their website and one of their lone officers called me soon after
I also got a million spam calls after applying for a mortgage with a trusted bank a couple years ago. I suspect that the banks sell your information to mortgage brokers. I'd be curious to see the privacy policy on the form you submitted.
I took out a loan, but the service request was in my partner's name. It's my phone, but now I'm getting crazy crypto spam WhatsApp stuff in her name, along with home security spam and other spam I never got before. Since it's coming to my phone, in their name, either or both companies sold me / us out and we were getting calls within days.
Did he have an Indian accent?
Yea, but he said this name was Daniel!
Op is gone because he’s at Walmart buying gift cards to get his mortgage going.
And an iTunes card after converting bitcoin, for a tip.
We had a zoom call with a very well reviewed, recommended broker local to us. Next day I get a spam call pretending to be the bank we talked about the most as a lender, but that we currently have no business with. My paranoia has been at 100% ever since
It's not paranoia if they really are trying to ~~kill~~ scam you.
IMHO you probably now have the right amount of scepticism.
Banks' system are probably already compromised and don't even know it.
Can't wait to get $10 and six months of credit monitoring from a random settlement in 5-10 years
Yikes, that's rough!
