I found some decent information but mo.re about real estate than anything (which makes sense of course). In perusing their site I found that they offer a relocation kit. I figured "Wow! That would be nice." so I signed up for one. I figured they'd just email me a PDF document or something. To my surprise they wanted my address to mail it to me. Being somewhat naive I thought "Cool! This should be good." so I proceeded to supply the requested information.
It took about 3-4 days but imagine my excitement when I finally received the large yellow envelope in the mail. I ripped open the package to reveal 2 web pages from their web site printed out in color and stapled together, one containing her business card attached as well along with a color brochure of properties for sale on the each of the different islands. I was like "You've got to be kidding me!". This was all information I had found and read on their site already. Including the brochure. They offer it online in PDF format. That's when I realized how naive I had been. They now have our name, home address and email address. How sneaky is that? Not to mention that the average cost of a home for sale in their brochure is around $1M... I mean, seriously?
Needless to say I've learned a lesson here. Know what you're getting when you share your personal information with someone.
Grrrrrr!!!!
