But these guys are driving my crazy calling and texting me on my cell phone two and three times a day while I am at work trying to drop a low ball offer on my house.

One guy said "It's like we are under siege." It's like phone wars here in Dallas now. I have never seen anything like it.
I get texts every few months. I text back some insane price over market value, cash, small unmarked non-sequential bills in a black Adidas duffel bag. They stop after that.
These guys never stop. Worse than the car warranty people.
“We get calls all day every day,” Tabitha Wheeler, a Dallas activist, said. Some people call, act mild-mannered and make conversation, but it always ends the same: with a low ball offer for their home. “Depending on the day of the week and how I feel, I’m cursing [at them],” she said.
I need to practice some more effective curses in case they start badgering my neighborhood. I wonder if I can find one that causes the recipient to get endless robocalls from "Credit Card Services".

I texted the first one today to go berkeley himself. That is much more creative.
Actually if I had used the word berkeley instead of f... it would have totally confused him.
Need more ideas for text responses.
I really got into it on the phone with one guy about looking me up online. His response was "Anybody can find you on the internet, pal." He then told me to call him back when times got tougher and I needed the cash.

I could also call him a Shiny Happy Person and a Bob Costas, then tell him he is full of E36 M3.
I stopped this during election season by sending random animal penises back to them.
The ones that continued after duck, rabbit, and cat went to an opossum birth video.
Never had them push me further than that.
My family still owns the family farms from my mothers and fathers side of the family. One property is water front, the other is near the mountains. The phone calls and visits from devlopers are never ending.

i am never going to message you, ever.
When my dad passed away 23 years ago my mom had realtors knock on the door telling her they already sold her house for well above market value. After all she's now by herself in a 4-bedroom house, she won't need that many rooms. Mom told them off and let them know that although the house is typical size for the area it really isn't that big (1600 sq-ft), it's paid for and another smaller place to live would cost more than the selling price of the house. Plus they must of been reading the obits to find out that mom was now living by herself in a 4-bedroom house. Mom still lives in the house although my sister now lives with her. It's California, what can I say.

When I was in high school the military recruiters were always coming around, and they would hand out cards that everyone was supposed to fill out with contact info and how interested you were. I would put down one friends name, another friends phone number, and mark it "very interested". They would get called multiple times a day. I suppose now its online instead of cards. Do with that info what you wish.

When my sister was in the ICU dying of kidney failure I was getting calls from a house flipper wanting me to put him in touch with her about buying her house. With all of her problems and medical bills she was behind in the mortgage and the flippers managed to sniff that out. It was in a very desirable neighborhood West of Denver and needed paint and trim repair, again because she was paying doctors and hospitals and couldn't afford painters and handymen. Prime flipper bait. After she died they guy called again and questioned me about probate and when he might be able to look at the house. We hadn't even buried her yet.
I hate flippers with a passion.
Take fair market value, pad it a bit, add a motor swap and 4 post lift, then add a zero on the end.
In reply to Snowdoggie :
I ask them what's their offer, which they then stammer and say they'd have to inspect the house first. F-off, you're calling me to make and offer, poo or get off the pot

I assume you mean texting pictures. But where can you get the actual items?
Get to know a few zookeepers? Maybe a place that advertises in National Geographic?
I have actual addresses of the worst offenders.
In reply to Snowdoggie :
Not sure about penises but there are several services available that allow you to ship a box of zoo animal poo to your victim's address. Variety depends on how much you want to spend.
So you like ugly houses?
Want to see something really ugly?

I do dog rescue with Siberian Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes. A ready supply of large animal crap is not a problem.
I just found not just one, but two voice mails left by two different flippers in the last five minutes. One wanted to wish me a Merry Christmas and wanted to know if he could be of service but I know damn well what he wanted. The other one was making the "cash offer" deal.
Some realtor is going to get a large Amazon Box full of Husky doo doo for Christmas. 
I don't believe it. I just got a third call from a third flipper. It's just as bad as the article I posted says it is.
Husky crap is going to fly this weekend for sure!! Also looking for goat penises and other random horrors.
