You either put a no/yes or a no/no sticker on your mailbox and the postman stops putting in flyers and local 'news'papers. (No/yes means no flyers, yes to the papers) I can't believe it hasn't been used in other parts of the world as well ;) Greetings from the netherlands! We have stickers for that in Holland!

Pop a Gospel tract in and send it off. Kind of makes you not mind the junk mail so much sometimes! : ) (Stop the catalogues though!)

(meaning, my identity wasn't stolen, but very compromised) I've been advocating people going to anyone who has their ss# and asking how they store that information. In my case it was a former employer who was transporting computer tapes to another location, and the tapes were "lost". The numerous letters I sent one was to TransUnion for elimination of credit card offers. My husband and I both have excellent credit, and have worked hard over the years to maintain it. I encourage anyone who wants to secure their identity, and trust me ANYONE can get their identity stolen. The stats are 1 in FIVE families someone will have their identity stolen. My husband and I signed up for www.trusedid.com Not the cheapest, but who can put a price tag on their identity It’s been a week since I became a victim of compromised identity.

You won't be hearing from them again. :-) Here’s what I do to stop all of those credit card offers from coming: open the mail and tear up the papers inside into fairly small pieces, stuff it all into the prepaid envelope and send it back to them.

These are things I need to do. Trying to stop all of the junk mail has been on my to do list for a while now and always gets pushed off. Thanks for the reminder and for doing a good share of the leg work. I appreciate it! Thanks, Lindsay, for the resources. These are things I need to do.
