Okay....I have been paying close attention to the junk mail in my Email account. Everytime I unsubscribe to something, I get ANOTHER email and all of a sudden I'm on a new mailing list...then I have to Unsubscribe to THAT email...then I get another one from a different company...and this goes on and on and on....

How can they be allowed to do that???

Sometimes a bad move to follow the remove. It confirms your mail address is active and triggers more shit

That's a big NO NO. If I do not know them they get reported to spamcop.
I was getting over 60 emails per day.
It has taken me 3 months but am down to about 5 per day now.
I get emails that say I opt in, screw them I know I didn't so I report them to spamcop.

We get the same thing on our own as well as the clients email accounts I do. A couple thousand a day before we started backing off of doing client mails.

4-6 hrs of sorting that garbage. Ugh
