Beware of emails asking you to "confirm your deletion"

A long-running scam campaign with emails pretending to be unsubscribe confirmation requests has started popping up online again.

In these emails you should never click on the flying link or generally respond, as they are designed to collect "live" email addresses and subsequently for the execution of some other type of fraud.

Unlike normal ones When you unsubscribe from a site, these fraudulent emails contain no indication of where you are logged in and simply ask you to state:

Please_confirm your
To confirm your Unsubscribe, please click here or on the link below.
Unsubscribe me!

Thank you!

Plus, these emails come with a variety of looks, some of which look completely professional, like the one below.

Αν ψάχνετε για μπελάδες και κάνετε κλικ στο κουμπί “unsubscribe”, θα συνταχθεί ένα νέο μήνυμα με το θέμα “Unsubscribe”, χωρίς κείμενο στο σώμα του και θα θέλει να το στείλετε σε 15 έως 20 διευθύνσεις ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου. Αυτές οι διευθύνσεις ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου συνήθως αφορούν τομείς που φιλοξενούνται από την δωρεάν DNS noip.com.

It goes without saying that you should definitely not send any emails to these spammers and just delete the email

If you are wondering what will happen if you send this unsubscribe email, we can not tell you for sure, but we have some ideas.

Spammers create lists of "live" or active emails that can be used for more profitable online scams, such as , diet pills, vitamins and loans.

If you respond to spammers, you are actually telling fraudsters that they have a "live" email and so they add you to a list of active email accounts that can be used for other scams. These email lists can then be sold to other scammers or used for their own purposes.

Knowing this, never reply to spammers' messages and just delete them. If you reply, you will end up getting even more spam in your inbox.
