Comments on: Stop Mailing Me Phone Books http://www.aldenta.com/2009/02/17/stop-mailing-me-phone-books/ Handcrafting the Web by John Ford Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:28:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1-alpha By: joe http://www.aldenta.com/2009/02/17/stop-mailing-me-phone-books/comment-page-1/#comment-56494 joe Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:14:23 +0000 http://www.aldenta.com/?p=115#comment-56494 I called at&t, asked to be taken off, and they wanted my phone number so they could later "confirrm" my address. I said "well I can confirm now that's my address", but no dice, they said without them calling back to confirm the request may not go through. Basically these crooks want to make sure they get your phone # for some reason, maybe to sell it to someone else.

I still got them at the office which was a disappointment but, by next year, I should be off all the lists. Thanks for spreading the word. I called to stop delivery at my home and my business.

I'm getting ready to take 20+ unclaimed books from my condo building to the recycling drop-off and it seems like such a waste. I'm going to get as many people to unsubscribe as possible.

Hopefully it will just be a short time before that industry is dead. Unfortunately the books go right from my doorstep to the recycling bin. Thanks for doing the groundwork - I'm taking down those numbers. I could not agree more. Hopefully it will just be a short time before that industry is dead.
