There seems to be no way to get off of legal lists, if that what they call them. Sears and others like them are no problem, but these web sites that need e-mail addresses sometimes sell them to others and then they go from there. I get one very regular, offering me refi on property that I no longer own. In the e-mail it thanks me for contacting them or it was nice talking to you last night and so on. The e-mail address is always forged and when you do a complete header it is always from an IP that is offshore. What is interesting is whoever has written the e-mail must have not gone to school at all or has no grip on English as the words are always spelled wrong, and I don't mean just wrong, but no sense at all.
