Did you know that the major credit bureaus have a telephone number that you can call to opt out of most pre-approved credit card offers?

All my best,

Hi, Danni. Well, I am certainly going to bookmark THIS. What about the # for junk mail? I ordered from one catalogue, now I'm inundated with catalogues and also spam online (yes, we have spam filter, and yes, I check off the things that say "Click or check here if you dont want anymore things from our company, etc.). What about all those come-ons for insurance, refi, mortgages, Viagra, e-university, and finally, Paris and Nicole?! We have to delete about 50 messages a DAY. BTW--Tuesday is purge day. Whiz.

Thanks for the tip. I will definately check it out. I got recently in the mail an offer that looked like a credit card(scary)!!! Iris
