Some time ago, I wrote an email to Axa, because they often send advertising emails or disguised advertising. The last one was an email disguised as advice with a solution in their various insurance products.
I don’t know about you. But I’m the type who when I need something, I go and find out. All this invasive advertising is enough (I also have a DNS blocker (pihole) at home which is very rarely detected by sites that detect AdBlock and the like) and no advertising in Android games either.
I find it annoying. I receive this because I have two contracts with them. But I never signed up for their newsletters. And it is impossible to deactivate the sending from them. I sent an email to their service saying "if you do not remove me from your mailing list for the email address: news@news.axa.ch
I’ll report it as spam. Telling them I didn’t want to.
They replied to me and removed from their advertising mailings. If you wish. Do the same.
Another tip, if you want to keep an eye on who is leaking your email. When creating an account on a site add to your address mail@mail.com for example a +. Like this. Mail+entrepriseX@mail.com. Be warned though that on some sites, the creation works but you will have to go through their customer service to close your account. Because their automatic form does not support aliases.
This is called an alias. The reception will be done on your main box. But if you receive spam with this address you can be sure to know where it leaked from. Either by resale of data or by hack. There is a small risk that the hackers if it is them have processed their data by removing the aliases before sending spam. But generally it is my technique of least effort and he resells their base as is and the spammer will simply copy paste or use a script that will not process my data.
