Six things:
- People using my email address because they either lie on a form or don't know what their email address is.
- Companies sometimes put the Unsubscribe page behind their Web Application Firewall (WAF), and a rule blocks access from outside their country.
- Companies that don't automatically fill out the unsubscribe form with the email address so you have to type it.
- Passive aggressive questions like "Why are you unsubscribing?" and one of the options is "I did not subscribe or I don't remember subscribing to this list" when they should be separate options.
- Companies that put a "Unsubscribed by mistake? Click the button to subscribe again" after the confirmation
- Companies that send an email confirming your removal from the list.
Here is a couple to add that happens to people that fall for this (not me, but someone I know!):
- Companies that say we will send you a receipt to your email address, and then bombard you daily with most annoying marketing.
- Then they don't provide anyway on these annoying marketing emails to unsubscribe!
