Karma Bites!

Reblogger
Real Estate Agent with LAER Realty Partners

Karma is the word originated from an ancient Indian language - Sanskrit. Perhaps as old as Greek or Latin, or even older.

In this post, confession from Patricia Kennedy!

She admits - Karma Bites!

Original content by Patricia Kennedy AB95346

Last week I did something that I now realize is not terribly nice to somebody I do not know.

I was online, and to get onto a site for more information, I had to register.  But wait!  I don't want to get more spam email and phone calls.  Better fill in fake stuff.

So, I became Ms. Daisy Duck.  For an email address, I put in one that is real, but one I never check.  But for a phone number (required to get the info)?  I put in the phone number I had up until about six years ago.

I didn't think anything about it until ten minutes ago, when my cell phone started to light up like the Christmas tree I'm decorating in a couple of weeks.  Within two minutes, I got twelve calls from all over the country asking for "Frank".  He filled in an online form to get information on health care, and a dozen eager beaver telemarketers jumped on it and called me from all over the country.  

So Frank, wherever you are, whoever you are, you helped me to pay off a karmic debt.  And my apologies to the poor guy who has my old phone number!

Tagging sometimes can go to different person than one intended for.

That's smart Stefan - using incorrect number or emails.

At least we are sure we are not putting anyone else in trouble by doing so.

And as far as I remember, it is safe to use a@a.com or xxx-555-1212, a directory service number perhaps.

Bob Crane, landline number may not be safe...

Even when you don't check your landline number, they can find out your home address from that.

Of course, giving out some unknown number is not safe. you never know who we are putting in trouble.

And some of them are bad - if done unknowingly, it may not hurt as much, I guess...

We all know about that Evelyn - it just we ignore the fact at times.

Nick - well said. Why should we complain about fake names as leads when we do the same?
