On Tuesday morning, Formella stepped up to a podium and announced the calls came from Life Corporation and Walter Monk of Texas.

    And there’s nothing I can do about it.

    Sure you can. Stop watching TV, use adblockers, and for the actual snail mail, yeah, that’s a harder one, but doable.

      This may be luck and based on your location, but I tried placing a “No fliers please” post it on my mailbox, and it seems to have stopped all fliers.

      Yeah I don’t consider moving into a cave a solution but you go on ahead.

      Oh please do share

        Lol that’s called TV addiction! I was like you and now I am free.

        I’m assuming you’re talking about actual TV viewing, right? Like broadcast TV and cable TV?

        For snail mail, there are organizations that can help you with that. I can’t remember their names off the top of my head, but a quick search should help you.

          No.

          I’ve spent more time than I should have searching and come up empty.

            Ok, what “TV” are you watching that has ads, then? Like, Hulu free or something?

            The FTC has some tips. Some of them require paying a processing fee like $4, and it “stops it for 10 years,” which is totall bullshit, but eh. I guess it’s better than nothing:

              Did that. Nothing happened. Just a scam. If you look into that company it’s just a big advertising conglomerate.
