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