Harassed by Agent

Postby adahc » Fri Jun 13, 2008 12:14 pm

Anyone heard of Vian from Shanghai Realty or Phoenix Property Agency?

We have been getting emails from 'Vian' booking an apoinment for us to see apartments in Shanghai. She claimed that we spoke on the phone which I'm certain that we did not as we already made an appointment with Adianne, the estate agent to see apartments on the day she recommended we should meet or suppose to meet!!!

I think we did send an equiry once in some website and the next thing we know we get all these emails from so many agents we never heard of. She is the one who is the most vigurous.

Anyone has this experience with her? Is she any good?

I'm not happy about this and I must say it puts me off moving from HK to SH if this type of Dollars hunting is part of the daily basis.!!!

What about adding her to your spam list?

or retaliate by posting their info so others will not use them?

really though, this is a very immature society that we are in and there are a fair share of immature idiots that just don't understand the difference between aggressiveness and harrassment. That and some of them are just untrained and yet desperate.

Yes, and that includes many British financial consultants. The most annoying one I know is actually based in Seoul, Korea. They call around Asia, are not worried to call you 3 times in a row although you already shouted at them, call you again the following year, sometimes will courrier their expensive brochure (very little content) from Korea. I even emailed their stupid GM once to complain, but they still call me about once a year (I mean 4-5 times within a few days, then go quiet for a year as I insulted them so much on the phone). Same marketing girl seems to be working there for years, the total useless idiot. Probably **** the boss, but how does this company make money?

If this is enough to put you off from moving to Shanghai, you will really need to re-think about moving at all...
