About two years ago, I took advantage of all those new online casinos and made out with about a thousand dollars from it. However, since then I have constantly been bombarded with junk email from all sorts of casinos. Casinos I've never even heard of. I can't get it to stop. The problem is that I wasn't thinking straight, and I used my main email account to register with those guys. So now I have to put up with all this junk mail.
I've tried using the "remove" button/link but that never works.
I've tried calling their customer service numbers to request to be removed and they always assure me that I have been - but that hasn't yet worked either.
I set up outlook to automatically delete the messages as they come in from certain addresses but it always gives me some error that says cannot remove message from so and so folder or something like that. So, the best I can do for now is to have outlook place messages that come from addresses I've gotten junk email from in the deleted items folder. But I'm not happy with this. I still have to go through and delete them myself. Plus it still plays the new mail sound when they come in and i have the little new mail icon on the system tray.:(
It's obvious that they're not incompetent, they just don't want to take addresses off their mailing lists...and they still give the addresses to other people. Any ideas how I can stop this? I thought maybe if I told them that I changed my email address...they'd actually change it and then I could have all that mail sent to a hotmail account...but I never tried that.
Anyone?
