Young lady from this number called to sell me a "lead". Would cost $97 (upfront) for the name and contact number of a "serious buyer" who wanted to buy a $260,000 home in a nearby city. Asked her to email me some information. At which time, she became a little irritated with me and hung up. Sounds like a scam.
I got the same call. The lady said she had a 600K lead for me and it would cost me 97 upfront I ask her name and the company she worked for and she got upset then she proceeded to say she would just call another agent. I told why don't you send me an email about your company she got even more upset and said I should be glad to get such a good deal. I told her it's been my experience if it sounds to good to be true it is almost always is. She hung up and I laughed about how desperate these spammers are getting.
I called the number back.. Steve from real estate pipeline. oh yea I've got a lead for a buyer in the concord area. I said I don't work that area - but thanks anyway and take me off your list.
I got the same call from a male who was willing to give me a lead in Weymouth, MA. "The lead already started the procedure of buying a house, but needs a real estate agent". I wasn't interested.... "but you are a real estate agent and you need leads!". Not from people that never say their names and the company they are working with.
