Report Spam to the Federal Trade Commission (spam@uce), to your email provider, to the sender's email provider.
Periodically email or call the companies and ask to be removed from their mailing lists (check their privacy policy page for exact opt out contact details). This is the most effective way to get off mailing lists.
Mark it as spam Marketers have 10 business days to honor your unsubscribe request. After that, it's a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act for a sender to continue emailing you. If the emails keep coming, you're well within your rights to mark them as spam using your email client's built-in Spam button.
Removing someone from your email list is very simple, and depending on the email client or marketing tools you use, the process of removing them is relatively the same. Go to your contacts, lists, subscribers, or audiences. Place a checkmark by each contact you want to remove. Choose to unsubscribe, or delete.
The company must honor your request within 10 business days. If there's no way to opt out or if you still get unwanted email from the company after 10 business days, tell the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.
The CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. The FTC enforces the CAN-SPAM Act and the accompanying CAN-SPAM Rule.
No, the CAN-SPAM Act doesn't give you the right to file your own private lawsuit for damages if you get unsolicited junk email. Instead, it lets the FTC or state attorneys general sue spammers on their behalf.
