Paypal say on signup they will never ever send out emails asking for security info, so  if I get something from them I just dump it.

The other stuff I often see is the emails from the banks that I am not registered with.  I just fill them in the Police sounding details and send it back if I am bored.

The only address they get thats valid is my email one, and it's only a hotmail one

The fact it wasnt rejected they allready know its valid.

Good luck to them.

I just hope they contact some of the address I send them.

Safe***** windows
Angl***n Windows

are just a couple of them.

People who call at my door leave some usefull information.

I am going to start savig actual junk post, and if I get 3 from the same group I will post the whole lost back to them in an A4 with out a stamp.

Considering they all complain about wasting the planet and going green I think it is a complete waste of money ad trees to give me something I DONT actually want or even read.  Also th fact I have a door plaque that specifically say's

No Junk Mail
No Canvesser's
No Caller's

Have you registered with the mail preference service, massivley reduced the crap through our door

[Mr Skrunts]

I did a long time ago, but dont think it made that much difference in the end.

The best ever thing I did was pay BT  the extra to go on the Annonymous call rejection service.

The odd cold caller gets through because of random number picking and the fact they dont with hold thier numbers, I just tell them it's a council house and they hang up, if they persist I just let them make the appointment.  I just give them a house Number and Street address I know for a fact does not exist.

How many streets do you know that dont have a Number 13.

My Brothers road, does not have a No2, 13 or 24 for some reason.  but goes to number 38 for the rest of them.

Have just registered again.

Cheers Jimbob  

Have also just filled in the Registerof Electors online and noticed I am listed as my details being public.  So am just off to ring the council to get it changed.

After seeing aprogram last week about ID's being for sale, then stuff em all, where ever possible I am going to remove access to my details.

Any more advice or links is very welcome.

For the benefit of all:

Mailing Preference Service Clicky

you can also get a form from the post office so they dont deliver unaddressed mail to you.

People are playing about with email addys and hiding thier yahoo/hotmail addys.  The clever ones manipulate artwaok on to their emails which is what makes it more convincing.
