Lee4Life Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) I requested quotes from several different Health and Covid Insurance companies in Thailand while applying for our O/A visas and COE's, and now my e-mail inbox is getting filled up with spam messages like crazy. On a hunch I went back into some of the websites and found that when applying for a quote at at least one of the companies you have to click a box that says you agree to them providing your information to third parties for marketing purposes. Not all of the companies are doing so, but it's something to be aware of. Edited September 30, 2021 by Lee4Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Same thing happened to me in the states, I filled out an online estimate for life insurance from one company (nothing to do with Thailand) and for the next month or so I'd get phone calls and e-mails from one insurance company after another.

CrunchWrapSupreme Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Desperate times. Sales are down in general, so in their call center boiler rooms they're desperately trying to make those numbers. Since buying our car 6 months ago we've been getting hounded with car insurance calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 10 minutes ago, bbko said: so I'd get phone calls My mother had a good way of dealing with these calls. She would open by encouraging the caller saying she was interested then tell them to hang on while she went to see who was at the front door. Then she would carry on doing whatever and after 30 minutes put the phone back on the receiver. That company pretty soon gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee4Life Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 The e-mails I have been getting are mostly of the phishing and scamming variety. I have been adding the sender's addresses to my blocked e-mails list but the same e-mails just come under a different sender's name. Pretty sure all of the e-mailer's names are fake.
