Tired of Receiving Junk Mail? There's an APP For That!

I'm sure many of you at some time have been filtering through your email to see tons of junk or spam mail filling up your inbox. Well, now you can download an app to have those emails stopped from being sent.

PaperKarma is an app available on many different phones, including the Android, iPhone and Windows Phone platforms. The app allows users to take photos of the junk mail they want stopped from being sent. The company then contacts the mailer to remove customers from their distribution lists. 

The company launched the free app in Seattle last year. After seeing a big response, PaperKarma went national last month.
"So far, it´s been a tsunami of images and scans coming in," said Sean Mortazavi, CEO of PaperKarma. "Apparently, people really, really dislike junk mail," (wasterecyclingnews.com).

The company says it's biggest positive is stopping junk mail that is addressed directly to a person. Mortazavi said there are always going to be organizations that send spam emails to entire ZIP codes, but that's something that can't be stopped at the moment.
