A Bunch Of Lieing Sacks Of Chit
Last year I did a little experiment. All the Junk Eamil I was getting had a link where if you submit your Email address that it would (supposedly) be removed from their mailing list. What a crock of chit.

I have 3 Email addresses...One for friends and family, another for people like you, lol, and a third for doing internet purchases, etc. Well, one of them was the Eaddress that I did clikc those links and added my Eaddress to be removed from mailings. The other two I just deleated the messages and did not respond.

Well, to make a long story short, The Email address that I submitted my Eaddress for removal is the one that get a TREMENDOUS amount of spam over the other two addresses. I mean, it is unreal how much more I get compared to the other two. Today that mailbox had 22 spam messages while the other two didn't have ANY.

So everyone take note because there's a lesson to be learned here.

Spammers use those "remove" links to verify that your email addy is still valid.

I just hit the delete button. Fortunately my junk mail filter catches most of the spam I get.
