This is a situation where YOU deliberately gave their e-mail address to lots of legitimate companies, SOLICITED A RESPONSE, and then mark it spam when it arrives.
Look at the Lending Tree home page. Read their description of what they do. Giving your contact information to a lot of other companies IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF DOING.
Sorry, but this is major trigger point with me. I work on an abuse helpdesk, and EVERY DAY there is some moron who is reporting as spam something they explicitly signed up for. And used for months and then when they don't want to receive it any more, it is SPAM and IT IS BAD and our customer is EVIL.
