For a long time, Uber didn't validate email addresses; lots of people set up accounts using my gmail address. I had no recourse.

  For eight years, I've been trying to get my email address out of Xfinity's databases. The customer support team literally can't find my email address in their system and I still get emails. They passed my case on to engineering and they can't find it either. Not only have I never been an Xfinity customer, I've never even lived in an area where I could have be an Xfinity customer. Thankfully, the emails are few and far between now.

    Just set up a filter to delete them. I've been doing this for all Facebook emails for years.

      Yes, I do have a filter for them. But it's still annoying since it's just shifting the problem -- now I have a growing list of filters to maintain. But I appreciate the suggestion.

    > Each separate email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to penalties of up to $43,280, so non-compliance can be costly. https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/can... From what you said it appears every single one of their emails is a violation. I don't know how much time it will take you to actually pursue that or whether it will be worth the time, but I'm sure lots of people will be very happy if you make Comcast lose a bunch of money.
