and they take it as license to send you unsolicited, deliberately deceptive spam mailings. I just received one today that is a life insurance policy thinly disguised as a "renewal" for your "current policy", which of course I don't have.
AAA is a great service when you need it. This is just an embarrassment. They should be ashamed.

Yeah that happens to me too Dave, I just click it as junk but I do understand where you are coming from.
Happens a lot these days across multiple organizations, not just AAA. A good word of advice for the older but wiser users is don't ever give your email to a website...... any website...... unless you see the little green-gold lock at the end of the web address. That lock lets you know that it is a secure connection.

Almost every company must be shring the list.
Occasionally, they send out something that I might be interested in.

I went through that BS last winter after someone posted my email address on the forum. The heavy spam traffic died off after about 4 months.
Most places where I sign up for things and they require an email, I give them refused@refused.net . If that does not work then I give them refused@Google.com. I figure that one of the largest spam providers on the planet can use some inbound email.

Yes, but where will I be without a chance to transfer millions from a dying potentate represented by Dewy, Cheatum and Howe in Outer Transteckistran.
