Spammers have sent e-mails to users to use fake ‘unsubscribe’ spam emails to verify valid email accounts used for phishing scams and other malicious activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “confirmation” emails, which use topics such as “Verification,” “Request, please confirm your subscription” and “We_need your confirmation asap” come in colorful boxes with links asking users if they want to sign in or unsubscribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After clicking on the subscribe\/unsubscribe links, a new email is created by the user mail client, which is sent to many emails that are under the control of the spammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While users expect not to receive any more messages after they send the email, fraudsters do check to see if their email is valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Email users are advised to ignore when they receive an email asking them to subscribe\/unsubscribe.<\/p>\n\n\n
