    I just wanted a quote on insurance, I filled in a questionaire online,
    in good faith I even provided correct information just in case I was interested in the quote.

    All I can say is what a mistake, within 3 mins my phone was ringing and pushy sales people started in. I was honest and told the first one I wasn't interested and their price was not competive with my existing
    plan.

    I feel your pain. I did a mortgage refi through one of the online
    mortgage places, and as soon as I entered my cell phone number and hit
    <ok> I thought "Oh, no - what have I done?"

    Same thing - calls within minutes, pushy annoying sales people trying to
    get me to commit NOW.

    I ended up calling the mortgage broker I used for my first mortgage (he
    kept sending me holiday greeting emails, so I had his email saved).
    Sorted the refi out quickly, painlessly, and took care of the details -
    I'm sure the others wouldn't have been so service-oriented.

    And I got a hell of a deal, right at the bottom of the interest rates
    before the rates went up. Unfortunately for him, I won't be refinancing
    *this* loan!

    Ugh, when I was in sales I didn't operate that way and I made good money.
