My Contact Form is NOT For…

Real Estate Virtual Assistant Says No To Spam!Hi, everyone…just a quick rant here this morning…I know I can’t be the only one out there who has their contact form (which is meant for client and preclient contact) abused by spammers.  So I thought this would be a fun blog to see how many dumb things people hijack our contact forms for.  Here’s mine:

 

  1. Job Applications! – I am a Real Estate Virtual Assistant, not a staffing service, I am not going to hire you!  If I do occasionally need to outsource some work, I will do so to other professionals who I have met via online networking and who I have come to trust their integrity and the value of their work…not to spammers who hijack my contact form!
  2. Adult Product Sales – Yes…I have gotten those emails through my contact forms…’nuff said!
  3. What’s Your Contact Form Nightmare???  Let’s add it here!

 

Thanks for letting me rant!
