I received two calls from (313) numbers this morning, first one at 8a. When I answered a switchboard operator transferred me to some guy who started asking me about my interest in refinancing my mortgage. I'd just emailed my loan officer about refinancing yesterday afternoon, so at first I thought he was affiliated with B of A somehow. After a few minutes though it was clear he had no background on my account and was phishing for info. I asked him who he was with and he said Quicken Loans, and how they were a major company with an A+ rating from the BBB. I told him I couldn't talk because I needed to go to work and he said he'd call back later.
I called my loan officer when I got to work and asked him about it. He had no idea why I'd get the call and thought it sounded downright predatory. He suspects they've paid one of the credit reporting agencies to send them info on any hits a person's report gets when being pulled for a refi, and that's why the second you start investigating a refi you get a call from them. Rather slimy business if you ask me, not to mention getting a call from a sales man at 8a Pacific time is NOT how I like to start my day. I find it hard to believe they have an A+ rating when they make early morning, unsolicited phone calls.
I get a call once every weekday from this number. They then hang up. I believe it is Quicken Loans but they are never on long enough to say anything. I really, really want these jackals to go away.
This is Quicken Loans, as others have reported. I have received a call every day for the past few days, but didn't pick up in light of the helpful info provided on this board. Finally I picked up today and told them I had refinanced with another company and to remove me from their list. Hopefully this will stop the calls.
They have been calling daily since I inquired with my own bank for a mortgage refi. They are calling my cell phone and are not leaving messages. I didn't answer because only a limited number of people call me on my cell phone and I didn't recognize the number.
