Opt Out

Just in case you get too much snail mail or phone calls, here's some handy pointers I've picked up over time. Save some postage, save a tree, save yourself from fraud and opt out of junk mail and telemarketers. Too bad there spam is so lawless. The 411:

• Opt out of those annoying credit card offers you get in the mail: OptOut Prescreen.com
• Opt out of junk mail, use the Direct Marketing Association's optout form . NOTE: They will soon remove the $1 charge to be on the list. I was just there today and the webpage still seemed to require the $1. Just wait.
• Stop telemarketers by registering your phone number at the Federal Trade Commission's Do Not Call Registry. NOTE: To be put on this list is free, but you have to renew every five years.
