Is it safe to click unsubscribe in spam email?
Reviewed answer
Unsubscribe from recognized mailing lists; report suspicious messages as spam or phishing.
- For a business you recognize, use your email app's unsubscribe control or change preferences on the business's real website.
- For suspicious messages, use Report spam or Report phishing instead of links inside the message.
- Block repeat senders and keep your email's spam filtering enabled. Avoid replying to unknown senders.
