Is this Hertz? Somehow Hertz in Mexico decided to add my email address to their mailing list, and I tried to complain to every level of Hertz to get them to stop. Their hosters didn't care, their upstream didn't care.
I decided to download larger files from their web site a few tens of millions of times, which I think cost them a few hundred dollars. Unethical? Perhaps, but I'm not the kind of person who just accepts that companies are too large to have humans that can communicate and that I should just accept their harassment.
It worked, though. I finally got a response from Hertz saying they were going to "get to the bottom of it", and I finally stopped getting their spam.
When you say "it worked" referring to you downloading big files to generate cost for Hertz, it mean you told them you were doing this and would stop if they remove you from the mailing list?
