Ridiculous.  AARP creates the problem then advises how much they care and can help.   Only a matter of time until AARP is linked elderly being bilked by the information sold to make a profit.

They dont send out scam mail but they do share information with other companies.  Some of which do scam older people.  For example the Jamacain scammers obtain phone/address lists from companies targeting older people.  In any case when express consent is not given to sell off members personal information I am shocked that the practice hasn't resulted in a class action lawsuit.

The remedy to apply to someone who has to take specific action is ridiculous.  There should just be a button option that people can opt out of the sale of their information.  The added hurdle is just a scheme to make it difficult to opt out.
