State is FL.
This is probably dumb, but I learned years ago that the only dumb questions are the ones that don't get asked.
I keep getting emails from an adult novelty company. They're actually graphic ads with photos of their items. I've now unsubscribed from them 3 times in a single month. I have a fairly good idea of who is signing me up to recieve this crap.
I got irritated today and decided to sign into "my" account. I didn't know the password, so I went through their question section to try to set a new one. My address was correct, however my birthdate was not. I emailed the company to try to see what other information was in their storage, and recieved an email telling me to call the company's 1-800 number to speak with a supervisor.
I spoke with a supervisor, and asked for the IP address that my email had been signed up through. I was told that they cannot release the information unless I want to file charges against the person who signed me up. They gave me a fax number and told me to have my local police dept fax them on their letterhead.
As I said earlier, I have an idea of who is doing this. I don't know if it is this person or not, and I don't want to file a false report. Can I file a complaint without putting someone's name on it (other than my own)?
This wouldn't really bother me if I didn't have small children who often come into the room while I am checking email.
Thanks for reading through this, and for any advice.
