I looked on here first so I replied "I have decided not to change my policy. Thank you, I do not need to be contacted, please remove me from your list."
Response: how did you know I was getting back to you in regards to your insurance? I told them I looked up their number online.
They responded "oic" but unlike to other people, they ended the conversation with a "have a good day" and "merry christmas"
It is definitely a car insurance company, I requested an online quote yesterday.
they are from an insurance company that texts your phone number to sell you insurance. when you tell them not to contact you, they are rude and belittling. When i asked for privacy this is how they replied to me (via text) "how ridicoulous! privacy? am i going thru your phone or what? do you even know what privacy means? people like you make me laugh" and yes, they spelled ridiculous incorrectly.
Are you guys from California? I've got the same thing happening to me right now. I called the number and I at least tricked her into telling me she worked for Mercury Auto Insurance. It's an Inglewood, CA area code, but I think it's her cell phone because she just answered with "hello" ...nothing professional. I called Mercury and reported it. Hopefully they will find her and she'll get fired. So ridiculous.
Okay get this: I am using a "temporary" cell phone while my Android is being repaired. My regular cell # is also temporarily disconnected and NOT forwarded to this temp "throw away"phone with an out of area - area code. So only a handful of people have this # ....I've had it maybe a week.and a half. ANYWAY, Just 2 days ago I shopped auto insurance quotes online....for 1 of the 2 companies I submitted my info, I only gave my phone # to 1 of them. -- just yesterday (after receiving a decent quote, I decided to go with this company, bought the policy over the phone end of story.....until today! I am on this site because I received a text today while at work from a number I did not recognize: (424) 261-6492. The text read exactly (no caps) "hi holly!"
Since I didn't recognize it, I ignored it and figured I'd investigate after work. This is where I landed. No biggie thus far, but an odd text if it is from an insurance company. It appears to me - the sender of the text is awaiting a "who's this" reply....instead, I replied "wrong number". We'll see what happens, I will keep you all posted of any info.
