You search for a quote, enter your number, and the phone never stops. Many lead-generation sites sell your information to dozens of agents. Here is how to avoid that.
Why it happens
Some quote comparison sites are lead brokers. The moment you submit your details, they sell them to multiple insurers and agents who all call at once.
How to shop spam-free
- Use a single, reputable insurer or a provider that states it does not resell your data.
- Read the privacy policy before submitting personal details.
- Use a secondary email and, if needed, a Google Voice number for quotes.
- Avoid sites that ask for your number before showing any estimate.
