What I found to be particularly effective when dealing with spam from local businesses is to contact them directly and request that your information is deleted, while also posting that they engage in unscrupulous practices like sending junk mail on public review sites like Yelp and Google Reviews, and then finally filing a BBB complaint directly against the business.

A lot of businesses these days aren't registered with BBB, which makes them ineffectual. That's more of a past thing, as I'm finding out. Mostly older businesses, or businesses run by older people are the ones participating.
