Some real estate dickhead just rang my mobile (which is not advertised anywhere) saying they were "just in the area" and wanted to do an appraisal on a house we own in <suburb name>.
It's an agency we don't use for any purpose, have never used for any purpose, and have never approached for any reason.
Is there some sort of legal issue with some smarmy sales knob looking up property owner details and cold calling them?
Makes me feel all gross that their grubby mitts are pawing through my deets somewhere in the hope of being able to stick a tongue up my bum and get a taste of some back door cash.
I don't know but if I had to guess I'd say no such law exists.
They can't "harass" you, but a once off call isn't that.
Even if you could prove they had gotten your personal details through some nefarious means, no one would care. If you complained to their professional body I can almost guarantee they wouldn't understand what the problem is.
Found the non-Millennial! I would say all phone calls are harassment. 😋
fuck off this person is whining about cold calls while people are literally dying because people like them are hoarding surplus housing.
Found the person with no sense of humour. 😋
I do not find it funny to joke about this sort of shit. People are dying because of people like the OP here and they are whining about cold calls while they deprive people of housing by being a parasitic piece of shit.
I hope they get many more cold calls in the future. Maybe joke about that instead asshole.
If you had ever been homeless or close to it you might understand but you and they are displaying some incredible levels of privilege while whining about a minor inconvenience or annoyance while they literally are responsible for people dying by hoarding housing for a profit motive and you and they can kindly go fuck yourselves.
How do you read any of this and think I'm on the side of the real estate agents or the hoarding of housing?
Because you are making light of the OP being annoyed at a cold call while millions of people die every year because of a lack of shelter.
Jesus mate, there's a reason people don't take you seriously.
So you speak for all people now? The supreme arrogance you have displayed here is incredible.
You think you deserve to determine where people can sleep. You think you deserve to own houses you don't need.
