MJAR Member Testimonial About the FOREWARN App
I wanted to take a moment to thank you, our local REALTOR® board, for providing our membership with the Forewarn app service.
A few nights ago, I received a text message that used my first name and a very familiar tone. I did not have this number in my records. The person signed it with their casual first name. It was very vague, asking to speak with me and ask me some real questions. I immediately ran the number through Forewarn and immediately it had a hit for 14 offenses and 3 "other" offenses ranging many years with a majority of the "guilty plea" charges for "stalking" or "harassment" and even "impersonating a public official." The gentleman lives within 5 miles of me and is similar in age. I felt it was a very targeted approach to open communication with me.
Needless to say, I left that message unanswered as I did not want to introduce this person into my world. I thank you SO much for doing what you can to protect us out in the field. I have shared my story with members of my brokerage and encouraged them to be vigilant and download the app.
