It isn't just that they send recruiting emails, they refuse to honor any opt outs and the recruiters will say things if you don't respond like... "I'll never stop trying" or "You don't live that far from me, I may just have to drop by"

Not just that, when i was banned from Amazon interviews for one year (I don't know why to this day), their recruiters kept contacting me. I spoke to one (on a whim) and the recruiter came back and apologized to me that they could not move forward with the interview process. Apparently they don't vet who they contact. I still get Amazon recruiter emails.

I've found a strategy that has worked fairly well for me. It doesn't result in them permanently leaving me alone, but it at least grants a reprieve. Ask to be removed from their contact list, and also reference the last person you asked. "Hi John, no thanks, and please remove me from your contact list. I previously asked Betty (bettysmith@amazon), and it seems to have not gone through." I get about 3 months of silence from them each time I do that. When I just respond "no thanks" I continue to get about 1 contact per week.

  It seems like borderline harassment. I am thinking a small claims case may get the right people involved to at least permanently be removed and maybe even get them to settle for small amount.

  I’m not convinced there’s always a human on the other end of these emails. After suspecting so (when I started receiving multiple reach out from the same Amazon recruiter in one day, all with 24 hour follow ups), I starter replying to some with a short “Sounds great!” or just “Ok” and literally never got a response. I did however continue getting more reach outs.

I recently received a mail from them which was like "We found your profile interesting, so we automatically created a profile for you in our career web and will notify you about any matching job openings", all after I turned them down multiple times in the past. I basically just said whatever and let it go.
