    No this was legit. This was a mortgage inquiry form on their website and one of their lone officers called me soon after

      I also got a million spam calls after applying for a mortgage with a trusted bank a couple years ago. I suspect that the banks sell your information to mortgage brokers. I’d be curious to see the privacy policy on the form you submitted.

        I took out a loan, but the service request was in my partner’s name. It’s my phone, but now I’m getting crazy crypto spam WhatsApp stuff in her name, along with home security spam and other spam I never got before. Since it’s coming to my phone, in their name, either or both companies sold me / us out and we were getting calls within days.
