    I already know the way to get me to click a phishing link is to send me 5 emails from the same company all 100% legit but have the unsubscribe link be the phishing link.

    I would fall for that because I’m unsubscribing from companies emails all the time.

    Of course now I’ve admitted this I’ll be avoiding the unsubscribe link for a while too.

      Even IT people click on random unsubscribes? I’ve learned that the hard way in my teens, that you only get more spam then. Only unsub from sites you know you have an account on.

        Random? No I think my original message misses a point.

        I don’t look at ads. I don’t respond to messages I don’t answer phone calls from anyone besides my wife.

        I’m so overly cautious and uninterested I could possibly miss a call telling me my parents are dying.

        I’ve been in IT so long that everything these days is spam to me, I’m always looking for a way to disable every notification and block every call/message.

        The last time I had a real social media message that I cared about was back when MSN messenger existed… So at least 18+ years ago

        Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a ridiculous human being… I am a big fat loudmouth but even as far back as Bebo then Myspace then Facebook I’ve been more interested in getting attention face to face.

        Now I’ve gone on and on… That’s because I’m in my late 30s and I hate my job and I’ve drank too much alcohol.

        Good luck to you and I wish you well
