Hmmm.

Want to know the ins and outs of the mortgage business and how to get the best deal?

"Pick the wrong the person to give out your personal information to or to handle a major financial transaction get screwed over, there are No reserves!"

Ken, I agree completely. Anytime you write a check or use credit card to pay a bill you risk having the person collecting that info use your personal information. The people at the car wash can go through your glove box and get your address from your registration. When you order flowers for your wife the person taking your information can send her anthrax and can purchase gift certifcates online for about a zillion places.

If we all went through life worried about who is legit and not legit we would end up sitting in a dark hole somewhere afraid to come out in public. If you arent comfortable AFTER talking to someone then don't give them any info. Pretty simple.

Mike, at least with a faulty parachute or a bad pack job, Aquascuba can cut away and use the reserve. Pick the wrong the person to give out your personal information to or to handle a major financial transaction get screwed over, there are No reserves!

Aquascuba, if you have posted an anonymous loan request through Zillow you have no doubt received numerous quotes. Take some time to pick out 3 or 4 lenders, read their reviews and then call them to talk with them to get comfortable before giving out your personal information to them.

AS,

You are leary about giving out your info where no one knows your name, address, phone number, email address. Yet you Scuba? Please realign your fears. .... Rudi
