How can I Reduce the Amount of Junk Mail I Receive?

OptOutPreScreen is website helps you take yourself off lists for pre-approved credit, auto loans, and other offers which use your credit score to determine the offer. The site asks for your social security numbers, so before using it, I googled "is optoutprescreen legit" and found several credible looking sites confirming its validity. Turns out you don't have to to enter your SSN or telephone number even thought they mark them red like required fields!

DMAChoice is a web site Direct Marketing Association, the principal trade association of the direct mail industry. They don't want to waste their member's money so they provide the ability to remove yourself from all mailing lists used by direct mail companies or to opt out one by one, using the codes printed on the pieces direct mail.
