1-888-5-OPTOUT

There are 2 great reasons (and a few inferior reasons) why you should call this number right now:

1) When you call this number, you provide your information, and the hotline will inform credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, etc.) that you do not wish to receive "pre-approval" applications from credit card and insurance companies. After I got two (of the same damn letter), I was fed up! You can't waste paper on me!

2) Identity thiefs steal your mail and use these pre-approval applications to commit fraud. No such mailings = more secure identity (as long as you stop giving out your social security number to everyone).

Reduce waste, protect your identity, call 1-888-5-OPTOUT. It takes 10 minutes.
