Expert Opinion

Skip the free‑ticket lure, because these calls are a high‑pressure telemarketing scheme targeting real‑estate investors. Callers claim you’ve won free tickets or a complimentary tablet if you attend a real estate seminar, then pressure you into paying steep course fees. Never share personal or financial details with unknown callers, and always verify a company’s legitimacy before committing. Register your number on the Do Not Call list, use call‑blocking tools, and hang up if the pitch feels rushed or vague. Report persistent offenders to the FTC or your state consumer protection agency, and share your experience to warn others.

15028713347 Telemarketing SEE ABOVE

Because i wouldnt answer the phone, i got a snail mail from Scott McGillivary inviting me to attend a "Private, Pre-Auction Real Estate Event" in my local area. Im RETIRED, LIVING ON A VERY STRICT BUDGET, AND NOT INTERESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! McGillivary is the host of HGTV's "Income Property". I enter sweepstakes operated by HGTV, and i believe thats where McGillivary got my email and snailmail addresses......I wont be entering any contests etc. provided by HGTV if they dont provide security for my personal info. The caller I.D. information provided was "Kentucky", the # 502-871-3347. Since i have an unpublished number and have been on the "do not call list" for quite some time(that works well too, right), i expect them not to call me in the future. I have also "opted out" of mass marketing mailings (apparently that doesnt work either). In the future, i will gather all unrequested mailings in a large cardboard box for a year.......then i will count the # of envelopes from each company .........then i will mail that box of envelopes etc. to the winning company. That seems fair to me ! KEEP IN MIND THAT THE FOLLOWING COMPANIES ARE SPONSORING THIS EVENT .....CHASE, BANK OF AMERICA, CITIBANK, THE INSIDERS EDGE AND SUCCEED. MAYBE WE ALL SHOULD SEND THEM AN INVITATION TO STOP SENDING US MASS MAILINGS!
