Buying a house. Lender immediately sold my email and phone number and I’ve been getting about a dozen aggressive sales messages a day. But hey, maybe it’s just a few bad apples.



Phone, physical mail, e-mail too. Buying a house probably netted me more spam than anything I've ever signed up for online.


They call this “Life event marketing” - one of the companies posting physical mail to me declared the name of the company that they got my details from so I could then contact them and ask them to take me off the list.
