But I've found companies getting around this last feature but having multiple mailing list. You unsubscribe from one and another feker pops up like a Hydra's head. Its downright crafty and unsportsmanlike if you ask me!

I like then the unsubscribe option replies to you saying it may take 5 days to take you off the list. That is basically saying they will enjoy continuing sending you spam for 5 days.Eric Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776899330734193166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-68687862906632313242013-12-13T14:52:13.392+00:002013-12-13T14:52:13.392+00:00Sounds like a lot of effort, but it could be a goo...Sounds like a lot of effort, but it could be a good way to catch out those companies that pass on your address illegally.

...That is clever, I'll have to give it a try. <br /><br />I think my main gripe though is that if a company puts an unsubscribe link in its email then selecting that option should bloody well work! I think in this instance Game are being deliberately slow in actioning my request because its Christmas and they have a shit load of promotional emails waiting to be sent out. Clearly <i>they don't care</i> that this is MY email address and that I should be able to choose what happens to it. I <i>know</i> I opted out of marketing emails when I placed my order with them but I think they basically ignored this and have been spamming me ever since.

He then set up separate email clients for every company he signed up with. Imagine contacting GAME support and saying "you sold my address to spammers", they say "no, we don't do that" and you answer "Well, game.signup@svensson.se has only entered the internet once,when I gave it to you!"<br />Thomas Nissvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635793244352536541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-51205401514298873352013-12-13T14:30:11.801+00:002013-12-13T14:30:11.801+00:00Damn that was clever!

Gmail ignores the + sign and any text after it so all mail will reach you. If you get spammed then it's easy to block them in gmail. Hope this helps.Vexilliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568117694302239705noreply@blogger.com
