Angry RANT: Junk mail

Arrrrghhh...Is there anything you can do to reduce or eliminate junk mail. I am so tired of sorting, shredding, ripping this garbage to pieces. Freaking credit card offers up the ying yang. Where's all the environmentalists. Don't they know how many trees are killed so I can rip this stuff up.

OK I'm done now.

Yeah...tell me about it. I get my recycle bin filled up faster than my trash bin! What's worst is that I get lots of junk flyer toss in my front porch every single day...there ought to be a law against that! Isn't that like leaving trash in someone's land?

I don't care so much about the flyers, pick them up and ditch them. But all these pre approved credit offers, anything for that matter with your name on it. All you hear about is identity theft and they just keep sending this stuff. I can't be bothered going through it and ripping, shredding everyday. Reason for the rant. Guess what I did on this lovely rainy Sunday.

I used www.incredimail.com.
Quite happy with it and its free!
It has a junk and unapproved section allowing you to Block and Bounce the e-mail back to the sender.
Any e-mails that you Block ,will in future not appear on your INBOX but will go straight to your DELETED items.
BTW,it also great notifiers.Its pretty cool.

She isn't talking about e-mail......she is talking about postal service mail, you remember that...the old paper stuff that comes in the box near your house....

You can call...

1-888-567-8688 [1-888-5-OPTOUT]

Credit bureaus sell banks lists of consumers who meet certain pre-screened credit criteria. These lists result in 5 billion credit offers mailed out annually, or an average of 8 per household per month. Under a law known as the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have the right to opt-out of receiving these offers.

Just my friendly consumer notice for the day.
