Actually I'm in the "junk mail" business. Though My company does not work with the kind of offers you are talking about. We work with catalogers mainly. We do rent out mailing lists along with helping catalogers acquire new customers buy renting other mailing lists. Mainly from cataloger to cataloger. We will rent names to Fundraising offers, Credit card offers etc. None of our 170+ clients allow telemarketing or porn / offensive offers.
You can remove your name from any mailing lists, well not remove, but flag your name so it's not rented if you wish. You may visit the DMA website. http://www.the-dma.org
Ok, I spent 3 weeks (hours a day) Opting out. Did everything I was instructed to do and it made absolutly no difference! The worst are the porn ones, you can e-mail to have your address removed because it always comes back as unsendable.
I've been getting tons of spam, too! I spent hours the other day unsubbing from them and it hasn't helped. I am still getting tons of it!
I don't know where it is all coming from. I have 2 "junk mail" addy's that I use, but yet I still get spam in my main box.
Anytime you enter a contest or answer a survey is a big way that they get you. I entered a couple of contest, answered the surveys(usually said I did not want any info), and that is what sent me into junk mail hell.
I have been so angry about it too! Some of it is so vile. You can never opt out. I have been reporting alot of it to various abuse depts. through some of the providers, but alot of them pass the buck. I am going to try Tony-NJ suggestion too. (Thanks TonyNJ)
