About 18 months ago I booked an Easy Jet flight - They operate out of Luton Airport in the UK. And since then they have hung onto my email address like it is the most important thing in the world. I have tried many times to de-register from their mailing list; I have even logged a new email address by changing my address a little bit; I have added their address to the blocked junk mail address and still their email comes through. I have even written to them about the bad practise and threatened to report them to whoever regulates this stuff. I am sure I am not the only one wanting to get off their lists so I am not sure how they get away with it.
When their latest email arrived in my inbox, I thought I would again try to de-register and then remembered why I had a problem doing this before.... they are terribly sneaky. This is what happens if you try to get your name off the mailing list:
Step 1........ The email that lands up in your in-box : You click on the "to stop receiving emails" link and you are taken to their website
Step 2......... You enter your email address and because you can't remember/never had a password you click on the button for them to send you the password.
Step 3 .......... You are taken to another screen and are asked to enter your email address again - which you do because you are desperate to get off the list.
Step 4 ......... A screen pops up so fast, like magic, and it tell you there is no record whatsoever of your email address on their data base. There is no where else to go.........
And because you think you have done something wrong you go back to the beginning and do all of this all over again and guess what - same result.
It is impossible to get off their list.
