How to Sign Up for Junk Mail thumbnail
Some people enjoy receiving junk mail.

While some are bothered by the amount of junk mail that enters their mailboxes and computer inboxes on a daily basis, others are pleased when something arrives. Although some find that junk mail tends to automatically find mailboxes and inboxes, you can actually sign up for junk mail if you want to receive it. There could be various reasons for this including research papers on junk mail, analysis of junk mail patterns or simply the joy of receiving new mail.

      Look at the label of existing junk mail, both in the mailbox and email inbox, and find the contact information. It could be a mailing address, email or a phone number. Contact the sender and request that you be added to all of their existing mailing lists. If you are not getting any junk mail, use friends' junk mail to get the contact addresses.

      Purchase something from a mail order catalog. When you buy something, your transaction and contact information is likely to be recorded by Abacus. Abacus is a company that contributes and exchanges customer information, including mailing lists. Your contact information may be distributed to other mail orders, so you can receive more junk mail.
