A short list of companies with whom I have done business and will probably not do business again because of their spamming (in at least one case, I am looking for a new provider for the service in question).

Note that I only include companies here who have clearly used my personal information which was on file with them to send me an unsolicited commercial email. There's too much spam to have a comprehensive list here.

I suspect that many of these companies have provided my personal information to other companies as 'marketing partners' or similar terms. Those partners are listed indented under the offending company. The list of those to whom my data was provided may include parties to whom it was provided indirectly, but it originated at the given company as far as I can tell.

Those who have violated their own privacy policies by their actions are noted with the glyph (*). I would not trust them very far. Those for whom this is not a violation of their own privacy policy at least admit it, but usually deep in the policy terms after telling you at the top of the policy that it is. I still do not find them trustworthy.

Additionally, many contacts were made to an email address which was obtained by the spammer illegally (through bulk DNS lookups or dictionary attacks, for example). These are noted with (!). This glyph only appears at the top level or on the marketer.

All trademarks and similar are property of their respective owners. All of this is my opinion based upon evidence I've collected by examining spam sent on behalf of the top level companies. What you do with it is your business.
