I received this marketing email in my Inbox this evening just before 7pm.

 

https://mailchi.mp/f9eff4979701/buy-an-anti-radiation-sticker-radi-save-price-1999-only

 

I can believe that what is (I assume) a reputable company is peddling this utter crap.  A mobile phone *must* emit EMF - that's how it communicates with the cellular network.  Likewise WiFi devices.

 

I replied to the email, politely suggesting they should seek to be ethical in their business dealings.

I remember (years ago) when I worked in a Vodafone store we got sent a bunch of these stickers. We refused to sell them.

 

I eventually tried to disassemble one only to find it was just cardboard - nothing else. They had a RRP of $20. All of the stock ended up in the bin.

If you stuck one to a cell tower it'll suck up the signal, how will other people not worried about death by radiation be able to make calls ?

I used them once for a phone screen replacement.  Its possible that I've inadvertently agreed to accept marketing messages, but consider it more likely that they have taken my contact details from a service request form and decided to spam me, yes.
