It's really nasty to me that these scammers monitor public records and apparently target new homeowners.

I've probably got like 10 pieces of mail in the last week ranging from "URGENT please call this number to keep your mortgage safe from fraud", and "you qualify for our free mortgage life insurance plan". They always have a tiny disclaimer at the bottom saying its not affiliated with my lender, and they got the info from public records.

I feel like these would get a lot of old or otherwise gullible people >_> it kinda freaked me out at first, but I had the sense to Google the contact info to check

One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls.

My junk mail goes to my renter property, not my primary.

You can add a + to the end of most emails before the @ so you can tell where bots come from or filter all emails to that address.

For example, if you sign up for a bank you could make your email
[email protected]

(Please note mods, this is an example and I have no idea if it's a real email address)

the only actual mail mail you get for literally 95% of the year is trash or bills
