Beware of fake "Do Not email Registry"

[Jacob]

Saw a warning on CNN about the site: http://www.unsub.us/

The site claims that by submitting your email address the amount of spam you receive will be reduced because it will take the email and have marketers remove your address from their lists.

It claims to be run by a marketing industry group that is tired of getting complaints about spam.

Oddly enough the site is done up in a way that mimics the FCC's do not call registry site and until recently did not have a warning that the site was not run by the FCC at all.

I'm wish I could say that I'm shocked.

That guy's e-mail is on there. Maybe a lot of people will start e-mailing him BAD words :lol:

Edit: Now that the URL is up here, the fake spam site will get PocketPCThoughted and have to shut down :mrgreen:

Well, anytime you click on a link in a spam message that promises to take you off their list, you get more. Sure, they take you off their list, but they sell your email to 10 other spammers...
