Just got a call from a magazine subscription service. I must have given out my phone number on one of these offers. I'm hoping it wasn't FushionCash that gave my number out.
Is it really worth junk mail and sales calls for a little extra cash? It would be great if there could be a separate category for offers that don't require an address and phone number. I just want to give basic demographic info and fill out surveys. That's what I was hoping for, but maybe that kind of online "job" doesn't exist.
The daily $1 surveys that FusionCash has seem like they're exactly what you're looking for, right? Minimal demographic input, and mostly filling out surveys. In any case, junk mail isn't that bad. I've given hundreds of sites my info and while the junk mail has started to become noticeable, that's because I gave out my info like a madman. If you're being careful, you shouldn't have to worry. Besides, you can stop the junk mail:

Basically, I'd recommend going through whatever junk mail you have and searching for contact info to ask if you can get removed from their list if you no longer wish to receive mail.
As for the phone calls, I've NEVER gotten any of those. That's probably because I've always used an online phone number from:
