Stop Direct Marketers

Here are a few tips I've come across to put a stop to the annoying telemarketers/junk mailers/unsolicited credit card offer-ers that make money by pissing people off/wasting paper/exposing you to potential identity theft:

  • Stop Telemarketers. Sign up with the National Do Not Call Registry.
  • Stop Junk Mail. Register with the Direct Marketing Association’s (DMA) Mail Preference Service. This puts you on ‘do not mail’ list, distributed regularly to all the DMA’s members.
  • The DMA counts most of the major bulk mailers among its constituents. Stop Pre-Screened Credit Card Offers. Call (888) 567-8688 or visit optoutprescreen.com.

On a related note, I'm experimenting with Google's AdSense program in order to try to defray some of the costs associated with maintaining this site. If you see some ads around, feel free to click on them and make me a little of that sweet sweet moolah.
