I wonder if some of these junk email senders are being clever. When I get email I don't want to get again, I click on Unsubscribe, and that seems to work. Sometimes, though, I get a big red warning from McAfee saying that the unsubscribe site may not be safe. If the senders of the emails make their unsubscribe page look suspicious, people may not unsubscribe. I usually ignore these warnings and unsubscribe - or not. McAfee has given me warnings about sites that I know are safe.
My son told me not to unsubscribe several years ago. He said that just verifies my email address. I decided to test that and unsubscribed to five junk emails. I unsubscribed three times to each. After that the junk emails increased and I was getting three of each at a time. I ended up closing the email account. I was getting over 500 emails a day and most of them came in threes.
