Company spamming me. Creative ideas to get them to stop?

1 pointsvjvj11y ago2 comments

I've unsubscribed about 10 times from emails from Web Summit and even got human responses several times assuring me I will get no further emails from Collision Conference, Web Summit or any other events this company runs.

However, they continue to bombard me with emails.

It seems to be coming from an automated address that's probably not checked by any people (p@news.websummit.net) so what can I do to get the message across that I don't want to hear/have anything to do with these guys anymore?

It depends on how much time you want to spend on it. I have had similar issues with other companies and I just setup filters to send them to SPAM.

I've unsub'd from xsplit.com emails four or five times now. It's very annoying and somewhat discrediting when companies disregard your unsubscribe request.

Send a complaint to their email service provider, they'll either get rapidly brought into compliance or banned for abuse.
