The selling agent has a contract with the seller and should not be offering a "peek at the cards" for lack of a better term.

I can buy 1 house for every 100-200 calls.BONUSI haven't done this personally but I've heard from other investors that knocking on the door with a business card results in 1 house for every 20-40 doors.

I wind up not being able to pay the minimums on the credit cards and I am currently in year two of a chapter 13 bankruptcy.  

Is it worth the risk, or are the cards stacked against you?

The only reason I can imagine identity theft resulting in bankruptcy is if she gave some e permission to use their card and that person racked up huge bills that the person didn't expect or couldn't pay.

However, like you said, all they are doing is opening credit cards for you.
