This article reads like it was written by someone who's never tried to stop getting junk mail. I used to call the listed 1800 number on every piece of mail I got, return it with NATA written on it, etc... I never once got a single company to stop. There's literally nothing you can do to prevent it from coming at you, at least in my experience.
