I got all sorts of calls, usually some were just curious, some were angry, every month someone called the police, the BBB and one time even the FBI on me, because the term "cash offer"" seemed suspicious to them - drug money LOL A place officer called me on behalf of a resident asking me to stop mailing them, to which I replied: sure whats their address and he said: he would not give me that information..
