For three years I have been e-mailing and phoning agencies to have my name removed from their mailing lists, this included charities, 'get rich quick', and etc. etc. It has been working but slowly.
4 Months ago a dear friend gave my name and addy as a 'can we contact your friend' name. I know she did it out of our friendship but since then I have received soooooo many 'get rich' and 'health' and 'etc. junk mail. I have to start all over again.
Please don't do this to your friends and family.
Thankfully I don't fall for any of their 'stories' but I'm sure alot do......
