pauloc Posted June 10, 2011 Share Call them up and tell them you'll report them to WASPA if they don't stop sending them to you. Actually, just report them to WASPA. http://mybroadband.co.za/news/cellular/20372-Report-SMS-spam-asks-WASPA.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

javadude Posted June 10, 2011 Share Legally they can send you as much email as they want, as long as they have an opt out link. They are also legally obliged to tell you where they got your email address from. Once you opt out they may not send you any more emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest agteros Posted June 10, 2011 Share Stuff I entered lately WilroCradle Autumn FestivalBela BelaKremetart And signed up on SA-Active Can't think of any others Anyone?  Just Bela-Bela for me. Never bought anything from TDF, so no prior commercial connection either. Doubt it to be SA-Active, been a member for many years, never had hassles.
