Irritating Junk Mail seeking to "Buy your Property"

Every so often we get some junk mail offering us "Cash" for some section of our farm. The material even includes a form we can sign and send back accepting their offer. These stupid things come from out of state. Today's generous offer came from a company in Utah !!
The offer today was a whopping 40% of what land goes for in our neck of the woods. It told us our land was "unimproved" and according to their diligent research not being used..(I thought growing corn was a viable use of the land)....We have until March 31th to reply..
So I will fight the urge to send them back a short, direct to the point letter....not worth the time for sure. I am guessing they get some poor soul needing money to fall for their "Generous offer" often enough to make it worthwhile to send out this garbage...
Anyway it made me laugh....What a bunch of buttfaces....
Rant off.....

Generous offer,When I tried to sell our Toyota FJ on line we were offered $6000,Took it to Carmax and they offered $10000.Sold it myself and it brought $17000.
just like phone calls if I do not know the sender dont answer or toss it out what even is needed
well ok some times If I know the sender I still toss it out dang pesky bills 😎
by the way did you know your car warranty has expired 😁

Got one of those about a month ago with an offer of 6K for my 6 acre property. My home\4 car garage and many improvements are on this piece of land. Talk about a Phishing scam! Vacant land around here goes for about 10K per acre on average unless it is close to the county dump.
Is signing that paper legally binding?
I think that is their thoughts on “unimproved” .. I wonder since it is all terraced and tiled with a central waterway that carries the run off into the neighbor’s lake, maybe they would up their offer two percent !😉
I get texts all the time offering to buy my house in Columbus for cash. I live two hours south of Columbus.
I reply those and schedule a meeting to walk the property.
When you heat your house with wood, junk mail is never a problem to get rid of.
I would have sent it back and told them, you are mistaken, are land is improved, we got in door plumbing last year.
Unless it has a pre-paid return , just toss it.
If it DOES have a pre-paid return, tape it to a brick and drop it into any mail box.
I used to do that years ago Rocky. I would ask a guy in the shop to shear me a piece of 10 gauge. Sometimes it's the little things that give a most satisfaction.
