Do these "opt-out" links work--will it put you on a do not email list? We do not know, but perhaps a hint at the likely answer is given by Perry Johnson's behavior with their junk faxing. Previous Perry Johnson statements about a "do not fax" database, including in Perry Johnson's written response to the FCC's citation for TCPA violations were recently contradicted by a sworn declaration from a Perry Johnson employee. Perry Johnson does not maintain and have Never maintained a Do Not Fax database. Thus if whatever mysterious process that first placed a victim's fax number on Perry Johnson's marketing list mysteriously repeated itself the victim would find that their opt out efforts were all for naught: "From at least early 2000 through September 2002, PJI maintained at various times for short intervals the identification of companies, which did not want to receive facsimiles. As I removed these facsimile numbers from the database, I discarded the documented information."

In general, it is advised that one should not respond to a spammer's so called opt-out offers. It seems a resonable presumption this rule of thumb is sound for Perry Johnson's spamming activities as well.
