Ever bought something online, asked not to be added to their newsletter list, only to find out later that they ignored your request and added you to their mailing list anyways? What about those companies that simply refuse to remove you from their lists? Here's a simple way to get yourself removed that only takes about 10 minutes. Google the company and terms like president, board of directors, cto, ceo, cfo, and any other important title you can think of.

Gather up a list of the names and create email addresses based on them. So if Mike Hunt is the CEO of domain.com, his email is likely mhunt@domain.com (note: if this address fails try things like mike.hunt@domain.com).

Forward the spam you've received from this company to the email addresses you've collected letting them know that their company is in violation of federal CANSPAM laws. Tell them they have 24 hours to notify you that you have been removed from their mailing lists. If they fail to respond, you take that as acceptance of your emailing policy and you will begin signing them up for every newsletter you can find (pick the good ones, the ones that never remove you, no matter what, kind of like the current company you are emailing).

I have had CEO's of multimillion dollar businesses respond to my emails asking me to stop signing them up for newsletters (I kind told him that I would stop as soon as his company stopped). I've had frantic after hours emails from marketing departments begging me to stop emailing their Board. I've had email marketing companies cuss me for getting their contracts cancelled.

tldr;

1. Receive spam from real company

2. Gather email addresses for import people in said company

3. Email them asking to be removed

4. Sign them up for as many newsletters as you can find

5. Profit.
