Why Are You Receiving Junk Mail?

There are many ways that companies can get ahold of your contact information. They use this information to send junk mail to your home until you opt-out consistently. They rely on the fact that the removal process is difficult and hope that most homeowners will just let the junk mail keep pouring in.

Every time you purchase a product, pay for a service or fill out a warranty card, another company will obtain your address so they can send you junk mail.
