Constant mail from Church of Scientology. I have never been and never want to be a member of this laughable "church." Stop calling me and now sending me two or three mailings every few days. I consider your church completely bogus. Why you are listed as a church is totally ridiculous.

Church of Scientology
- This is Church of Scientology's "Mailing Department" from Clearwater, FL.
- Several different people from the Church of Scientology previously called from different phone numbers. Earlier this year, they called from this particular number.
- Keep in mind that the call may be monitored and/or recorded. However, the law may require that you are informed of this fact first before they continue to dialogue with you.
- It was explained by different people that they wanted to:
- "make sure we have the right mailing address,"
- "know about any corrections regarding mailing address,"
- "check if we are sending mail; and that if we are or aren't, either way, please call. We need to verify records."
- One caller (female) said that she is "calling anybody who has ever did service for the church" as well as "updating addresses," and looking forward to "getting reacquainted."
- Now calling from another phone number, it was explained that they are "updating" their "computer files" and making sure mail is being received at the address in their files.
- NOTE: I have not personally received any mailings for years (until recently) from Church of Scientology at my most previous and current addresses.
- Not wanting to have anything to do with Scientology over 20+ years ago (and asking to remove my contact information several times back then), they are now trying to contact me after all this time?! They really should just delete those old outdated contact information, instead of trying to search for and verify the people's contact information from years ago in order to update their old computer files/mailing lists to send them unwanted mail once again. It would be most considerate to many if they would just DELETE their older contact lists...
Call Scientology at their Los Angeles, California building 323-960-3550 and ask for "Merav Ellis, Address Correction and Policing In Charge". She should be able to help you, but if she's not available then they'll direct you to the person who is now holding the position "Address Correction and Policing In Charge". Tell her that you don't want any more mailing or calls from Scientology or any of their groups or organizations, and to mark you as "off the list" FOREVER. It may take a while for this information to propagate from her centralized computer to the other Scientology organizations, but it will help. It will NOT, however, completely stop the problem. But it should be your first step. The reason it will not stop the problem is that they keep lists all over the place (on paper and in computers), and do not use the centralized computer to "cross check" for people who don't want calls. It should stop the bulk-mail junk mailings, though.
Call your local police and/or your phone company. Ask them about making a complaint against harassment. Especially since they "tracked you down" after being told you never wanted contact from them again, you probably have a good reason to make a complaint. If you can make a complaint that is simply a police report, you can later send a copy of that report to Church of Scientology International (their "mother church") and demand to never hear from them again. That will put you on some good (for you) "black list" where they should order people to stop calling you. To locate the address to which to mail a copy of your report to the police on harassment, go to the California Secretary of State website and do a "business entities search" for the corporation "Church of Scientology International". You want to mail your demand to the "Agent for service". At present that is Jeanne M. Gavigan, 3055 Wilshire Blvd #900, Los Angeles CA 90010.
