Funny, I just got a call from a PRUDENTIAL LIFE agent barely 5 minutes ago before reading this thread.

Although the agent told me naman I was one of the lucky people who was picked by their computer to be given a P50,000 free life insurance. All I need to do daw is drop-by their building in Makati and sign some paperworks, no obligation, nothing to pay.

I told the agent how did my name and phone number landed in their computer in the first place. Atleast the agent was honest enough to say, "Ser, sorry hindi ko po alam eh. Ito po kse yung trabaho na binigay sakin. Kunin ko daw yung mga pangalan at number na nasa computer at tawagan sila".

Anyway, it was their 2nd call actually. They were even trying to ask me for my cellphone number.

(OT lang saglit: Naalala ko tuloy yang cellphone number, I was window shopping at Isuzu and Mitsubishi a week ago and gave them my cell number. Ngayon, hindi ako tinitigilan tawagan nung mga car sales agent para bentahan ako ng Sportivo at Adventure. Daming freebies na inaalok sakin para lang bumili ako.)

back to the topic ..........

I think there is a hidden agenda in this kinda thing. Sometimes pag punta mo doon para i-claim yung so-called insurance, you have to fill-up several forms asking for your personal information like address, contact number, nature of job, position in the company, etc.

I say never trust your personal information to people like these who can't even tell you how they got your name and phone number in the first place.
