Active Rain attracting telemarketers

I don't know about anyone else, but in the past few weeks I have been flooded by telemarketers.  In each incident the caller starts with "  I found you on Active Rain". 

Do telemarketers believe that since somone is signed up on this site that we are fair game for them to call?  They must think that we must not have anything better to do except blog all day so we must need their services!! 

Today I received a call from somone who was wondering if I wanted to "expand my income potential"..they always ask if we need to expand our income...

In a few days I am going to receive a package with a CD and all sorts of info...shoot, if they want to waste their money on postage,I'll sure let them.."sure, send it.." I didn't say I was going to open it...

They have to remember Im a sales person too...I know that they are not going to be "expanding my income" for the heck of it...

Last week I received a call from someone who wanted to sell me leads.."Sure send me leada and referrals, but I only pay at closing."  (I hope this person was a licensed Realtor, because I would never pay a referral fee to someon who was not."  "Oh, well thanks for your honesty" replied the caller.   Hmmmm...Sure I'll pay you money for a list of names that I dont even know are real, names for buyers and sellers that may not even pan through, what is in it for ME???

Just because I post on AR, does no mean that I am sitting here twiddling my thumbs behind my desk with nothing to do.  If I needed more business, I would do it the old fashion way..Put on my best professional outfit, a big bright smile, load up with cards, and hit the streets!!  Call Friends, old clients...knock on doors..maybe even hold an open house or three...

Please do not call me unless you are truly calling for  a real estate need...
