Somewhere along the way you might have signed something with very
fine print in which (the fine print) you asked them to send all
future products to you and bill you for them.  This "negative 
option" scam is legal, but somewhat shady.  It has been used
by book clubs for years!

To stop this, simply mark the offending package "refused" and 
give it back to the mailman.  It doesn't pay to send material
to people who refuse it, so that should be the last you hear
of them!

Hope this helps...
