Speaker 1: Let's say good morning now to ABC's Jim Ryan. Morning.
Speaker 2: Jim, Hey, so summer.
Speaker 1: I know, right, I had a sneaking suspicion about this,
Speaker 1: but clicking unsubscribe is actually a bad thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's kind of like answering the phone. If you
Speaker 2: get a number from an unknown get a call from
Speaker 2: an number it First of all, it tells the person
Speaker 2: or the potential scammer or somebody that you do have
Speaker 2: an active phone number. Same with unsubscribe. Unfortunately, in some
Speaker 2: cases now, very often, if you click unsubscribe, the advertiser
Speaker 2: or the email sender, whoever it is that's sending you this,
Speaker 2: the newsletter gets the idea and they take you off
Speaker 2: their list. Great, it works perfectly, but in a few cases,
Speaker 2: according to a company called DNS Filter, that's not the case.
Speaker 2: In one in six hundred and forty four cases they
Speaker 2: looked at click here to unsubscribe, it links you to
Speaker 2: potentially malicious websites. Right, so you land yourself on some
Speaker 2: scammer website and somewhere in the between is sort of
Speaker 2: the annoyance. I guess if you click unsubscribe, they may
Speaker 2: take you off that list, but it does tell them
Speaker 2: that you have an active email address, and they they're
Speaker 2: sending something to the right place, so it just got
Speaker 2: to be careful about that.
Speaker 1: So it's that they're they're sending out millions of pings
Speaker 1: around the world and if you ping back, they go, aha,
Speaker 1: you're real okay, but exactly so you said. For some
Speaker 1: sites like I've I've had like Sephora, for example, and
Speaker 1: after a while, I'm like, you know what, I don't
Speaker 1: want to get their emails because there I get too
Speaker 1: many of them or something. I'm not saying Sephora does that,
Speaker 1: but just as an example, so if I click unsubscribed
Speaker 1: from their email, they already know that I'm real, well
Speaker 1: they do.
Speaker 2: And I suspected, you know, a big name company like
Speaker 2: Sephora will say, fine, we're going to take you out
Speaker 2: the list and you won't get our emails anymore, and
Speaker 2: they'll they'll be sincere about it. I don't think there's
Speaker 2: any real obligation on their part to honor your unsubscribed
Speaker 2: request because I know I've clicked on subscribed and I
Speaker 2: get another email from that same place the next day.
Speaker 2: There's an example. Yeah, I made the mistake a few
Speaker 2: months ago getting an oil change right they said, okay,
Speaker 2: can we email you your receipt? And I said fine,
Speaker 2: and then I gave my email address. Well, I get
Speaker 2: an email from them about every twenty minutes. Maybe it
Speaker 2: seems they're pushing more time for a state inspection. Well
Speaker 2: I got one this morning. Now, this is in Gmail,
Speaker 2: and Gmail is a good example because so many people
Speaker 2: use it. Out to the right of that email within
Speaker 2: the email list, it says, unsubscribe, that's Gmail talking. That's
Speaker 2: not the oil change place, that's Gmail. Click that and
Speaker 2: Gmail then will take care of it. They will unsubscribe
Speaker 2: you or send the future emails from this outfit to
Speaker 2: the spam file or the junk file. So that's one
Speaker 2: way to do it, rely on your email provider instead
Speaker 2: of going in and doing it yourself. It takes another step,
Speaker 2: I guess, but it's just as easy as and maybe
Speaker 2: more reliable than unsubscribing within the email.
Speaker 1: There's also I was working with a group called Incogni
Speaker 1: and they go through and they get you off the lists.
Speaker 1: And I think that the amount of spam emails that
Speaker 1: I got did go.
Speaker 2: Down, oh, but didn't stop altogether.
Speaker 1: It didn't stop it. Yeah, so right, so kind of
Speaker 1: I wonder, and I wonder too if what happens like
Speaker 1: what you just said happens where they reach out and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, get her off of this list, and
Speaker 1: then they go aha, but she is a real person,
Speaker 1: and so then even though I might get off that list,
Speaker 1: I get onto more.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's the thing. And so you can also
Speaker 2: unsubscribe by doing the taking this sexual step. You can
Speaker 2: unsubscribe from that particular ipn you know that that IP address, right,
Speaker 2: If you get off that IP address, then if they
Speaker 2: are sending you emails from different entities, you should be
Speaker 2: able to stop all of them from that particular iPad.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, good luck, because it sounds like they're
Speaker 1: trying to rip you off. It just sounds like we're
Speaker 1: stuck with it.
Speaker 2: I think I need an oil change again.
Speaker 1: Well, you're going to get a coupon in about twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: I would imagine. ABC's Jim Ryan. Thank you so much.
