Unwanted Marketing by Good Sam via phone

Read the privacy policies BEFORE you hit I accept. Long? Yes. But read all of it because near the bottom is where they really explain just all what they will share of your info to third parties who can then take your info to share to their parties and so on and so on. And plus a statement that they can't control what the third parties will do with the info they gave them! They hope you won't read it all.

Affinity is HUGE and encompasses MANY different companies and it states right in the privacy policy all the companies they share your info with when you hit the accept button. Especially more so since they changed their name to Good Sam. And of course within the privacy policy they also have a disclaimer in their privacy policy that they can 'change' it at any time after you have accepted it! :B

It's like all web based companies. I read all the privacy policies and quite frankly if everyone read 'all' what is in them you would be so shocked and you'd never hit the accept button ever again without thoroughly reading them. Compared to 10 or 20 years ago there is WAAAY more things they do with your personal info.

I've never had a call either. I feel left out! :(

I applied for an insurance quote from Good Sam and the spam calls started. I used my call blocker app to stop it. Chuck

I have been a Good Sam member for 23 years and have never gotten phone calls. Not sure what this is all about.

On cell phones just put them on the block list. Emails go to my trash file. Not worth trying to even contact them.

..or 800 numbers, or 702 area codes, or 'Unidentified' calls.

Get a new, modern phone that displays the caller's number. Then decide to answer.

If this is on your cell, they're violating Federal law.

On modern phones with an address book, the caller name will appear for those in the address book. We do not answer calls from numbers that do not appear in our address book. If the caller leaves a message, we can decide whether to call back. If no message, it's a telemarketer or a robo call, possibly from a scammer.

Works for us.

Yes, I did request that as well. My apologies. You may be receiving calls from one of our partners but that should cease as well. I hope this helps!

I'll give it a month to see what happens...

Hello danpreszler,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and my sincere apologies for any trouble this caused. You had two profiles in our system for some reason and mail was being generated from both but I have combined the profiles for you and stopped the mailings. They should completely cease over the next 3-4 weeks as the final things we have mailed out arrive. If there is anything further we can do to assist please let us know. Thank you and have a good day!

What about the phone calls? You have obviously sold or given my information to outside marketers. This is what really bothers me! Please respond as I really want to know if I am to remain a Good Sam member.
