Dear Sir/Madam, This is a request that my personal information is removed from all of your mailing lists for unsolicited mail. I would like my name and address removed, effective immediately. You are currently sending unsolicited mail to: insert name, address, and zip code.
There are a few ways you can opt out of companies' catalogs directly: Visit the company website for a direct process for removal from their mailing list. Call the company customer service directly to formally request an opt out. Request an opt out via company email. Request an opt out via traditional company mail.
Write directly to charities whose mail you don't want and ask them to delete your name from their mailing lists. Tell charities you support whether you want your name removed from any lists they rent or exchange.
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.
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.
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.
Report Spam to the Federal Trade Commission (spam@uce), to your email provider, to the sender's email provider.
Register With The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) Many of the companies who send you advertising in the mail are members of Direct Marketing Association (DMA). You can register with them to be removed from their member's mailing lists. They also make their “Do Not Mail” list available to some non-members.
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.
