At least in India some companies sell/leak their user email list to others; those others also cultivate these details from domain names, company registration etc; & then fake or referred-link emails on genuine companies' name (with or without Genuine Company's consent).
I got bombarded with 35+ emails every day few years back; & documented it at https://gitlab.com/davchana/gmail-indian-spam-domains/blob/master/readme.md https://gitlab.com/davchana/gmail-indian-spam-domains/blob/m...
Unsubscribe link click marks your email as live/hot; & gets them a higher price everytime it is clicked by you & then sold by them as fresh hot.
- lolc 7y agoI don't click on "unsubscribe". My standard procedure is to look up the sending IP-Address in WHOIS and send a note to the operator's abuse address. The good ones take reports about unsolicited mails seriously, and the bad ones end up on blacklists. Based on the responses I (rarely) get, I've helped boot a few spammers from their servers by providing evidence to the operator.
