About 8 years ago, I wondered the same thing. I looked at the footer of the first or last page of those to find a company name or website. Opting out was very simple for all of them.
Most websites asked for an address only. Some asked for a little more information, but to my surprise, it worked. I haven't received that ream of coupons in years, and in the off-chance that something new appears (usually something credit related), I've been able to opt-out just fine.
- saagarjha 7y agoHow many places did you have to contact?
- noxToken 7y agoI've done it twice (since moving residences). I received paper spam almost daily at the first place. I contacted around 15 different companies to get it all sorted. The second place was only 5 or so.
- Nextgrid 7y agoWouldn't that be counter-productive, by showing them "yes this address is active and someone's reading your spam" as well as potentially allowing them to correlate your mailing address with online identifiers like IP address, browser fingerprint or advertising cookies?
