An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!
ULPT Rules:
- Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
- Tips must provide some benefit to you.
- Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
- No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
- No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

Credit doesn't show income. It is just a score with income not factored in.
Experian offers a service called "theworknumber" that will sell you income data to anyone for $60.
You cant opt out because fuck american laws, but you can demand they "freeze" it like credit, so any inquiry is just rejected.
That may solve who’s texting me if I’d like to sell a property. They keep asking me about properties i haven’t owned for years but I use to live at.
At least you get texted about properties you once owned. I get texted about some dude's properties across the country even though this hasn't been his number for a good decade now
Haha it’s just weird to get a txt asking if I want to sell x property I haven’t owned for twenty years.
It has to be a credit report thing as my gf gets txt about the properties and she has never been on the loans or titles. The properties are always in my name.
This is where you can request a form to freeze this BS:

Notably it's not as easy as freezing your credit. Probably because there aren't as many laws around it.
