If you didn't subscribe to it... Don't follow the links

This entry is exactly what the heading suggests.

If you didn't sign up to, or subscribe to something, and you receive e-mails informing you that you did (it doesnt matter if they include your IP address, reason being its probably bogus)!

There is usually an unsubscribe link, which is also bogus, and it just lets the spammers and scammers know that, the particular e-mail address is active!!!

Just mark them as spam if your spam filter has not picked it up, and DELETE IT!! Really don't touch the links, no matter how tempted you are, you are opening up the flood gates to your e-mail address, and you will be inundated with rubbish (your e-mail address will go onto a list and will be sold and passed around).

Remember, use your common sense, and it will save you a world of torment!!!
