You can pay to opt out of junk mail - or do it free
A Missouri radio station this morning was promoting a Web site that, for $41, will opt you out of junk mail. This morning show host obviously didn't read our blog post from late March, in which we pointed out that you can do that and opt out of pre-approved credit card offers for free. So is it a scam?
I don't know of anything illegal about it. It's like hiring a maid - you can do that, or you can clean your own house for free. This organization claims to send half the fee to non-profit outfits that help the environment.

The real deal is greendimes.com - they actually significantly reduce your junk mail - plant trees for you - protect your identity AND are completely accountable...

Sounds like it's easier than hiring a maid. Greendimes.com looks like it's the real deal, and it's only $20.
