I got an email the other day that was sent to robs at a while heap of domain names. Now, I know I didn't subscribe. The link to unsubscribe seemed to work very easily, but I used a domain name that didn't exist. It accepted: rob@buggeroffandleavemealone.com, so I tested some other email addresses. It also accepted 'leave me alone', as well as variations that were less polite (I was letting off steam, okay). Has anyone got any tips on how to differentiate the real from those that are fishing? robo.	Guest (0)

There is big money in selling the names, of innocent people that unsubscribe. The abuse sounds like fun though. How do you know they can't get your real email address from the abuse?	Guest (0)
