How I Get Off Mailing Lists
I am tired of pre-approved credit card offers. I have several credit cards and I don't want any more. I want to opt out from the list where these credit agencies get my name from. OK, Stas, go to this website and opt out: OptOutPreScreen.com. That's what I did yesterday. We'll see what happens. :-)
I am also tired of unwanted letters in the mail. I only want to open letters that are of interest to me. I have to say that after signing up for this service, Mail Preference Service (MPS), I receive a lot less junk (just like you get less calls after signing up for do-not-call list). I'm seeing that my wife is getting a lot more junk mail now -- I signed her up last week. :-) You have to mail a letter to them.
So that's how I keep myself from opening unwanted letters.

Hi Stan.
I signed up at the optoutprescreen website, and I'm now concerned with their legitimacy - after giving out my SSN and DOB.
Are you concerned?

Good point, Chris. I'm afraid it's a little bit too late -- you already gave them your info. :(((
No, I would not worry. The site seems legit. Plus, they need your SSN because that's how credit companies get their names. I heard about the site in other places as well.

I knew about the first site :), but I just signed up for the MPS service. We'll see what happens. Thanks.
