A few weeks ago, I made the mistake of inviting a realtor I didn’t know over to see my house. Long story short, he wanted to buy it very much, but he didn’t want to pay anything for it. He made an offer that was beyond insulting. I politely told him No, and he hasn’t gone away. He has texted me several times. I always ignore him, but just now, a strange number called my phone. I answered. A voice on the other end said “Hi,” and seemed to expect that I would recognize him. I didn’t. I asked who he was, and he reminded me. “I thought you were dodging me,” he said. “Yeah, I was,” I replied. Then, I hung up.
And now, I feel bad. But the more I think about it, the more I don’t feel bad. This guy knows enough about my situation-knows that my husband died, knows that my house is pretty much all I have, and he is totally prepared to rob me blind. Some people are a drag đŸ˜¦
Report the “tele-stalker”, JaC; he knows way too much about you now.

Who would I report him to, though? He sent me several texts that I never responded to, and then he called. I hung up on him, and have not heard from him since.
If he tries to contact me again, I will inform the police. Right now, “stalker” feels like too strong a word. I really think he is a con artist. He seemed to think he could really pull one over on me, and get me to basically give him my house.

BBB/phone provider/police; sounds like you’ve got a plan in place. (Is he independent, or does he work in another broker’s firm?)

Not sure. He is listed on the internet, and he spoke about a partner somewhere. That is all I know.

OK, did he leave a card? I think the BBB may be able to see if people have made complaints – as a first step. Godspeed!
