Never unsubscribe. The lists spammers commonly use are auto-generated lists of likely real addresses. What happens when you unsubscribe is the spammer now knows your email address is valid. They then sell it on the gray market as part of a list of verified addresses. In the end, unsubscribing only results in more total spam. Best thing to do is block the sender's address, or if you use a web mail service like gmail, mark the email as spam. Of course, you should also never click any links contained in emails from unknown senders either.

Google "never click unsubscribe" & you'll find tons of articles with horror stories of unsubscribing. The NBC Chicago story towards the top of the search results is pretty good.

Using an AV program like Bitdefender will help with what is already coming.

My general recommendations for email:
Create at least 6 email addresses
Use each one ONLY for specific purposes
Banking / credit cards,...
Purchases
(I have one for amazon, one for places like lowes, staples,...)
Utilities
phone, gas, electric,...
Friends
websites
like this one
create a new one for communicating with strangers, ie dating sites

KEEP TRACK:::::
Have a list including the info for each address and for each website (i use a spreadsheet)
website address
email address used
alt email address
user name
password
security questions

When a particular address is compromised, create a new address, make changes to those sites that are still important, when no more good stuff is being received, delete the old address.


I have 12 addresses. Gmail, yahoo, and business.
Recently 2 of my addresses were harvested. This may have been by someone sending funny stuff to me and others with my addresses viewable. And/or for one of the new website forums i joined.

I am working through the changes.

Report it to your email carrier such as Gmail and they'll mark it as spam and note the contents to establish a 'signature' so that when others come in, no matter the address, with a similar signature, it will go to the spam folder.

Block the sender!

Spam

Spam folder and delete.

I just delete..... Keep my finger sharp

You can mark them as spam but unfortunately they keep on changing the email address.

Mark them as spam.

For some reasons I keep receiving emails from Chinese companies trying to sell me industrial amounts of cat litter.

can't you mark them as spam?

I swear and pound the table! I think l am going to have to purchase a sturdier table in the near future.

I get some also, all I can do is add them to my spam and junk filters.

SPAM!

Tag them to the spam file. They'll go there automatically.

Set up a filter to reroute them to spam.

I usually just add them to a block list, so they shuffle off automatically from whence they came.

I check my email account like every 3 or 4 weeks, over 70,000 emails some from last century. Nothing like retirement.
