Unsubscribe Now

Anyone use this service? I got the address in a spam email from them. I get at least 25+ spams a day on one of my email address. Of course it is my main address and to change it would be a lot of work. I get next to nothing on the rest of my email addresses. Years ago I tried that free credit check on line once and ever since them I have received a constant flood of spam email. I believe they sold my address. I have a spam filters on my email that does filter out the spam, but I still need to check it for that occasionally non spam email that is mark as spam. A lot of spam get by with creative spelling.



It is $21. 95 a year. I think it would work just for the legitimate advertisers and not the pill pushers, porn, and "member" lengthening junk spam.



Here is the site.



Any one have experience with them?

I have multiple email accounts and aliases. I have a special one that I use for registering on websites of unknown account security. Most of my junk mail ends up going to that account. The aliases are real handy because I can delete an alias without affecting my actual email account that the alias points to. Junk email is still better than all the trash I get via the USPS.

Unfortunately, there is no real way to stop all spam yet.



If it is a reputable company, you can try looking for an unsubscribe link at the bottom. I usually will unsubscribe using that link 4 or 5 times per received message. I will also send approximately 4~5 reply messages with the word "unsubscribe" pasted until it covers the page.



The only problem with unsubscribing to spam is, by replying to the e-mail address with "unsubscribe" you are letting the sender know that your e-mail is a real/valid address. You have just been marked as a valid receiver for even more junk.



Also, when using when creating internet accounts with companies, use an e-mail address that you do not care about, such as a Hotmail Account. They are free!

Why give 'em a "real" email address unless you're wanting more info from them? I just use -- email address removed --.
