Also calls from 810-287-3588 (cell)
This call was from Kathy Hix at the Home Center (http://www.loan-mortgagebroker.com/Mortgage/K ... -MI-7952967.htm). Yes, our house is being foreclosed upon, which is why she was calling. She saw the advertisement, and I assume performed a Google search or something similar to find a phone number for us. The phone number she got was not ours, but belonged to my in-laws. Interestingly, my in-laws don't even live in the same city we do, so she and her staff obviously have no clue. A second Google search of the phone number would have revealed the phone number owner's name and the city they live in -- confirming that the phone number did not belong to us.
Ms. HIx left a voice mail message asking that we call her. While the message left was semi-cryptic ("we have great news concerning your property"), it was enough for my in-laws to wonder why someone was calling their phone (where my husband has not resided in over 20 years) to leave a message for us and question us about it. Not being able to lie to them, they now know of our situation which we are embarrassed about and would have tried our best not to let them (or anyone) in on. I called to tell Kathy that the number she called was not ours and to please not call them again. She quickly said "I'm sorry" and brushed me off the phone. Funny that she didn't ask for the phone number or name to confirm who was calling her. Again, she obviously had no clue because she AGAIN called my in-laws and left another voice mail. I called today to again tell her how embarrassing it was for my in-laws to now know of our situation because of her phone call, and again requested she not call again. We'll see.
Even if I wanted her help, I wouldn't use this firm for anything, and will spread the word about their "ambulance-chaser" type tactics in getting clients.
