well I didn’t speak to 600 directly many of those are voicemails, but over a 10 month time span, we clocked over 600 pertaining to these interests. A particular clever ploy from one bunch was they identified themselves as being from a royalty company, next call a resource company, third call, “I’m a landman and need some help.” all the same group. We also received the slick, glossy “Mineral Report” twice, once in 2024 and again early 2025 advising us to sell our minerals to take advantage of certain alleged tax percentages. The “Mineral Report” looks like something from a penny stock pumper. Anyone reading this be advised you sell your mineral rights and they are gone forever. So you had a well dry up and all of a sudden your mailbox is full of offers for that dry hole? Well what’s underneath or even above that hole, or next door, or even a mile away ? do your research and realize just because they permit a well today, it could be 10 months or more before any money comes in. I had another family member with three times our interest sell outright in 2009 before we knew of the eagle ford, sold for $15,000. At that time he was excited because he thought all the oil was gone. He believed the mineral buyer was a sucker. He knew nothing about pooling, or horizontal drilling. Every time we receive a check i wonder who that entity was that is getting three times the amount, and no telling how much from others who sold their minerals without doing due diligence, or asking for help.
