To give you a life/auto insurance quote, they don't need to run a credit check. I get offers of life insurance from various companies all the time in the mail. I don't get phone calls but then again, I never pick up the phone for unknown callers/numbers (caller id). In addition, my VOIP provider blocks any call that does not identify itself (Once in a while this causes an issue if my wife calls the answering service for the on-call doctor and they call back but can't because they block their number).

I'm also getting offers all the time for mortgage refinancing/debt consolidation because I have a mortgage on my house. I seem to get a spate of new offers whenever I refinance.

Could it be that your basic information (entered by you on some online form) has been sold as a part of some mailing list to all these marketing folks? That’s the only safe assumption. Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn out to be anything like an identity theft. Here are some pointers on ID theft incase you’re interested: http://hartfordauto.thehartford.com/Saf ... heft.shtml

Thanks man. I eventually quit getting calls but that could be because I've left my cell phone off for the past week. Bahaha. :P
Going through deleting inactive accounts of mine as a security precaution. No hard feelings, but admins, if it is possible to delete this account, please do so. Thanks in advance!
