Worst companies junk mail?

Hi,

What are some of the worst companies, in your experience in terms of sending people junk mail etc?

Or phoning people all the time?

Thanks.

Virgin. First I requested them to not send them to me ... so they sent them to my house addressed to 'The Occupier', sneaky ****ers.

Hopefully threatening to sue for harrassment will put them off.

Media. I have no television, so they can't offer me that, and I get broadband ridiculously reduced so I don't want that from Virgin.

Virgin Media. Every other day they send something.

I get emails for penis enlargement (I'm a girl) and they have the funniest damn titles! I got one the other day called "Your package is set to grow into the pecker of her dreams". Classic.

In terms of junk mail it's online casinos for me! They are sending tonnes of junk mail and one online casino keeps sending me CD's with 'free money' with a certain ammounts worth of free spins.

Oh, and how could I forget that strip club (that I've never been to) that my friends decided to give my details to? :mad:

"Maximum enlargement vigara pills". They couldn't even spell Viagra properly, let alone realise that I don't want their crappy mail.

HAIRDRESSERS :mad:

I got my hair cut at Rush over a year ago (someone paid for me, it was a treat) and they got me to fill out a thing with my email and phone number. I said I'd prefer not to and got told that I had to. Rage!
But yeah, I get texts and emails at least once a month from them saying I'll get 50% off a cut or dye or something if I come back, and they won't stop sending them, even though I've asked.

Aaaand that's why I'll never go back to Rush.

Well, you generally have to have bought something from a company before they start harassing you with junk mail.

I have a friend who got rung up by some telesales guy (I think it was a window company or something like that) and she hung up on him- he then rang back and asked why she had hung up on him, so she hung up on him again. He then rang back about 10 times. Then he rang back the next day pretending to be from another company saying that she had arranged for an appointment to have her boiler checked (she hadn't), she said that she wasn't at home- he replied that he knew she was as he was ringing on her home phone number. She asked if it was the same person as the day before and he swore at her, hung up, but then drop called about another 10 times. She then complained to the company and there was only one male employee on the first day when she got the first call- and he then admitted it was him and got the sack.

This is the worst I reckon?! Wish I could remember the name of the company though...
