I did this for about 20 different spam emails. Since then, I have received twice as many junk emails. Is that button a scam?

Be cautious when you do this. Really search through the e-mail and make sure it is legitimate.

There are lots of phishing attacks that imbed the virus link in the "Unsubscribe" button. A pretty clever idea if you ask me.

All you’re doing is verifying that it’s a legitimate email address

Use the "filter" option. Much more efficient.

I had figured this would have been a rampant problem
