Name one thing that makes this hobby less enjoyable for you ....

How do you know the TPGs were the ones that did it?

 

I was upset when a random dealer once called me at home and asked me if I still bought gold. I had never done business with the company, nor had I ever authorized anyone to release my information. For security concerns, I would obviously upset. I told them no, and not to call me back.

 

Did you even bother to ask him where he got your contact information?

 

No. It would have made more sense, but I was very upset. I don't hand out my home phone number to dealers (with very, very rare exceptions). I don't even think the TPGs have my home number. I was baffled.

 

In any event, I moved (for other reasons) and have since changed my number so it is no longer an issue.

The lack of imagination in our hobby often leaves be wanting.
