Ever wondered why your phone explodes with endless spam calls and texts after looking up insurance quotes online? In this video, an ex-insurance agent reveals how popular "comparison websites" are actually lead generators selling your data. Learn the 10-second test to spot a spam trap and protect your personal information. This isn't just about insurance. The same tactics show up in Insurance quote sites, Mortgage rate sites, Solar quote sites, Home improvement quote sites, Debt relief sites, Survey and sweepstakes sites, Extended warranty offers, and Other lead-generation websites. You'll learn what to look for, where to find it, and how to avoid submitting your information without realizing what's about to happen. I also included a couple that I tested that were not lead generators and didn't SPAM me. I don't receive compensation for including them, I'm not endorsing them, they were just two I've tested with decent results, and I'll always pass along good and bad results. The test could save you days of unwanted calls, texts, and emails. If there's a site you'd like me to test, leave it in the comments. I'll keep doing the dirty work, so you don't have to.
