I was attracted to an online competition which I started. I never do this sort of thing I might add.
And so I answered a fairly easy set of questions to start with but then I got deeper and deeper into this, answering marketing type questions and along the way giving them an email address, and trying to find if I was actually close to winning anything, then suddenly I realised what I was into, and I tried to pull the plug. Too late.
I have now been unindated with emails (all legit so far) and the toss up is to either bother to unsubscribe or simply delete and block, or both.
So my advice is, don't be a complete tw*t like me and get sucked in to these scams or you will be receiving emails about anything from recruitment, through windows, to dating agencies until you close your email account. The only consolation is it's not really too much bother to me since I rarely use the account, but sadly I can't close it since it's tied to my current BB provider.
Doh!
