To Unsubscribe or Not, That is the Question!

Unsubscribing From Spam Emails

In the past we have always recommended never to unsubscribe from spam emails because a majority of companies would use the unsubscribe feature to simply gather additional information…and they still wouldn’t remove you from their list!  My how times have changed!  Due to successful legislation put in place over recent years, this kind of contemptible information gathering technique is becoming increasingly uncommon.  Using good user discretion you can now safely and effectively qualify as well as limit the number of email communications you receive as spam.

In today’s age of technology you use your email address more and more as an identifiable piece of information much like your phone number.  You probably receive dozens of valid emails from companies legitimately reaching out to you simply because you became a customer at some point.  Our recommendation today is to review each email and decide if you truly need that communication.  At the bottom of each email you will see the unsubscribe information.  By clicking on this link you can safely and successfully unsubscribe or in some instances choose or change the types of communication you wish to receive from the company.  By doing this regularly you can easily clean up your inbox within a couple of months. 

Be aware that many emails from companies include helpful information such as related or industry news, discounts on food and travel, coupons for product purchases, etc. so examine your emails closely.  Use discretion and make an informed decision as to whether you are receiving a benefit from keeping them. 

Oh and keep in mind that beneficial information always comes from OrLANtech so no need to unsubscribe from us!
