What is AT&T's contact email?

What do I do if a former employer is still using my name, image, and contact information on their website and are also still forwarding all "contact us" messages to my personal email?

• Recently, in March of this year, I left a job at a very small tech company. They had a lot of problems, and when I left my boss, the owner of the company, was a real jerk about it, even though I tried to be as professional about it as possible. In his haste to try to make my life miserable after hurting his pride and being the first person to ever quit his tiny kingdom, he let me go before my 2 weeks notice was up and didn't ask me how to make changes to our website, what changes to make, etc, which was part of my job there.  So I didn't have time to remove my own likeness and contact information before he blocked my access to making the changes. Also, even though he knew that all emails being sent through the "contact us" form on our site were being sent to my personal email account in addition to my work email (due to technical issues that they were too lazy to address, this was one of the only ways for me to receive them), he hasn't removed my email address from the contact form.  So I am still getting every single one of their emails sent through this form.  This includes spam, quote requests, and the occasional follow-up from a frustrated client who hasn't heard back from them in a timely manner. I forwarded such an email to them on at least two separate occasions shortly after I quit, but they didn't reply.  So they SHOULD know this is going on, but they haven't done anything about it. I just got an email today from some poor kid who wants to apply to a job there.  I really want to email him back and tell them to run far, far away from this sort of incompetence, but I don't want to cause myself more trouble, either. I also really, really want them to just stop using my likeness and sending me emails. What should I do?  Is there anything I CAN do?

• Answer:

  Sounds pretty miserable.  1. Do not, under any circumstances, write or say anything bad to the person who applied for the job. You could end up with a defamation problem. 2. Yes, you do have rights in relation to any suggestion you are still at the company.  Their failure to remove your email address is a problem as well. My advice will vary depending on how long this has been going on and whether you have already specifically told them to get the stuff off the site. If you have not already told them that you want the changes made, send them a certified letter telling them to take action in terms of removing your information and changing the email address. If you have told the company to change the site, or if this has been going on for quite a while, even if you haven't told them,  have a lawyer send a demand letter that orders removal of any information suggesting you are still at the company and a change of the email address. You could have a lawyer handle it even if this hasn't been going on for a while if you don't think the old boss will do what needs to be done in a timely fashion. You should look for a business or employment law attorney to help you with this.  Make sure the person knows how to draft such letters properly, since they do have a way of showing up on line. Good luck.If you require legal assistance, please contact a lawyer in yo...
