I've often wondered.

Right after signing on the bottom line and being handed the keys to our new home.

How is it that with in a few hours someone is knocking on your door with welcome gifts.
Plus a line of various companies offing their services in the days to follow.

How do they know

Is their an inside connection with the closing dept?

Just wondering

I don't think so, but I am guessing you do.

Contractors watch the cleaning crews get a house ready and look for a moving van.

Please be careful of people knocking on your doors trying to sell you something . A polite no thanks works .

I wasn't given a restaurant gift certificate, but there is a bank in Nigeria that wants to send me $15,000,000.

I got an email last week telling me I was in the "Will" of the recently deceased Saudi King Abdullah. Wonder how much I'll get.
