Well, you may have been unsubscribed from THAT list, but now they know you have a valid email address, and will sell it to others. It is a dilemma I have been in for a while. Do I keep ignoring the spam I get? Or do I risk the unsubscribe feature? The few times I did "unsubscribe" I received an influx of extra spam for the next month.

(OT) Lately I've been getting messages from paid4survey.net offering me free gifts if I take their surveys. I'm not sure how they found me but all of that is not the point. The point that I'm trying to make is that at the bottom of the message there is a small link which you can click to get removed from their list. I was surprised to see that the link was not to a non existing email address but rather to a web site where I chose the un subscribe option. Then it apologized for the inconvenience and told me that I was removed. Just to double check I clicked on the same link again, and was told that I could not be un subscribed because no such account existed. I was so surprised to see a spam list that I was able to un subscribe from that I just had to write about it. Perhaps if other lists were like this then it would not be so bad. ------ http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $8.99/mo! ------
