Subject: RE: BS: Ambulance chasing theft of privacy
We were harassed by three separate independent insurance adjusters as we stood before our burned out home with the smoke still billowing. All had gotten our address from a statewide fire report database and wanted to be hired to "fight" our insurance company. All were sent packing with the clear message that they were trespassing and would be reported. Had they simply expressed condolences, handed us a brochure, and then departed, we'd have been willing to look over the information when we were ready to consider our wisest course of action. We understood their desire for remunerative work but not the vulture approach.

If you hadn't yet put your mobile number into the preference service, I imagine it was easy enough for the offending party to get that information.

I hope no one was injured.
