I’m in the unfortunate position to be job hunting, so I have to answer unknown numbers. For years, I’ve gotten “I’d like to buy your house” spam calls. I’ve never been in a situation where I’d sell to a random caller. I can’t imagine one, either. I can imagine needing to sell my house, but I’d call a realtor or something. I wouldn’t engage a random cold-caller.

Does that ever work? Is it legit? I assume it must be profitable, because they keep doing it.

    when i looked up Steve (20 years ago) he was 30 years older than me. I’m not exactly a spring chicken here either. I’d hope the spam went down because he moved (or worse, died), but when my dad died we kept getting spam to the landline for him for, uh, still going so i guess many years?
