funkymonkey66 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Can anyone tell me the proper channel other than the FTC to report people that REFUSE to remove you from their newsletter and mass email lists?I have unsubscribed from a particular newsletter 5 times already plus emailed the originator asking to be deleted. The unsubscribe link says I was successfully unsubscribed but they still send me nonsense emails. I just delete them but it is getting pretty annoying. Doesn't that fall under spamming?

Platypus Moon Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Wonder if they have just added you to their personal email list instead of using the website based newsletter, can you block them at your end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorrie Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Yes, it does. You can report it to the FTC.Here is the informationhttp://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus61.shtm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorrie Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thanks : )No problem. The only reason I know it is some how I got on a newsletter list for some referral network. I am getting ready to report them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleMama6 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 You can also go into your e-mail settings in the meanwhile and put them on your block/junk list. That should help to ensure that they go straight to your junk mail box.But keep an eye on the e-mail they are coming from. I noticed that they will change the e-mail with one letter or number so you keep getting them. I just keep adding them to my block and delete them with the rest of my junk.

funkymonkey66 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 This one is coming from a supplier that I don't do business with anymore. I know they got my email requesting removal and I have unsubscribed 5 times. They must really want my business, but sadly it's never going to happen.I get emails all the time from the regular spammers. I wish there was a do not email list like the do not call list.

LynnS Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I get e-mails from some I never purchased from and also some I never ask to be put on their newsletter list or mailing list. I just e-mailed them the other day and e-mailed over a month ago to explain it is holding up my computer all day what they send.I have dial up and it took 1 whole day to get 10 e-mails I had coming after their advertisement. I hope they get it and quit. Glad to know there is to complain. I am FED up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My husband got home and I think he may have put it under junk mail. Had to ask someone else my husband works with to take us off his e-mail list.I spent 12 hours and his 1 e-mail went through about 20 times.Took almost 1 1/2 hours each time it went through. I get so fed up. Those pics are killers. LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
