Aggressive Marketing Please Stop

Now that I own a few units I've seen the horrible side of direct marketing.  I don't mind getting post cards or letters in the mail but I now receive texts all the time asking me about selling my properties.  Somehow they got my Mom's phone number also even though she's not on any of my properties and send her the same texts about my specific properties.  I also was getting a phone call every day where the person wouldn't leave a message.  After a week I finally answered and they asked if I was willing to sell my property I had just purchased.  I was so furious with them it really hurt their chance of me working with them.  Leave a voicemail and I'll call you back if I'm interested.

Some of these marketers make so many calls that the mobile service marks them as Potential Spam or Marketing on caller ID.  When the phone company detects a single number making many calls in a row it flags the account and automatically assigns it that Spam caller ID.  Just a tip for all those direct phone marketers, take it easy on calling tons of people right in a row unless you want to be assigned Potential Spam or Marketing caller ID.
