joke mail

When somebody signs you up for free subscriptions or free merchandise of useless nature in order for you to be bothered by telemarketers and religious organizations. The instigator hopes that the person being "joked" will receive numerous garbage, telephone calls and whatever else the company sends such as videos and magazines.

I thought I had a parcel but it turned out to be joke mail that somebody signed me up for. Now they call me all the time.
