A few years ago I opted-out using optoutprescreen.com (permanently). Most CC offers stopped coming, though I would still get occasional offers from frequent flier programs or others I had an existing business relationship with.
Today, I received an offer from Capital One - I've never had a CC or any other business relationship with them.
I searched previous threads and Googled this, but couldn't find useful information. What kind of recourse do I have? Any opportunity for quick profit?
Can I sue you for using my "fun and profit" trademark? For fun and profit, of course.

I visited ftc.gov to try and find out if there are any penalties for violating the opt-out of pre-screened offers. I literally couldn't find anything. Does anyone know if there is a penalty? Is my only option to complain to the FTC who doesn't even resolve individual complaints? I don't really care too much that I received a single offer that violated my opt-out, but it seems that this whole idea is a little bit of a farce if there are no penalties/enforcement.
