Why You Shouldn't Always Unsubscribe From Emails @ ExtensionTech

This all started from me being spammed by some "Online Adult Dating Service" spam email. Of course my Spam Assassin caught it, and labeled it appropriately though. I guess I just had some weird inclination to go look around. No, no, not at the dating service, but at the website. You see, the website was buried in some folders, and just seemed odd to me. It only took me a minute or two, and then I realized there was no index file on the root of the web server. You know what that means don't you?

I thought this was pretty much common sense when dealing with less than reputable websites. Also, who browses those websites using IE? That's just plain stupid. |

Not everyone knows not to unsubcribe from fishy websites. 1,500+ ppl that use Yahoo email didn't. Actually, over 22,000 ppl didn't know that. Hence, I wrote an article. Another reason was the obvious lack of privacy as well with the email addies. Yes I use IE still. Yes, I have XP SP2, and run M$ antispyware. I'm protected, and I obviously have common sense. When Firefox imports my bookmarks correctly, I'll use it. |

It's always worth reminding people who are new(er) to the internet not to reply to these kinds of emails - thanks. What I've always wondered is what the heck are these emails I receive that just seen to have a bunch of random words. It's English, but they don't make any sense. Is it just me? ;-p W. |

Foreign spammers. It makes them much easier to delete though, because you don't know if are missing out on cheap V|@gRa or not... |
