How to Unsubscribe to Junk Mail
Electronic junk mail, also called spam, can clog your inbox and waste your time as you click through dozens of unwanted, and sometimes inappropriate, advertisements. You can reduce the amount of junk mail by paying close attention when you shop at commercial sites--some sites automatically include you in mailings when you purchase items. Read all purchase agreements carefully before proceeding to checkout.

Tips & Warnings
Never provide personal information beyond your email address when unsubscribing from a mailing list. Some spam is sent out with the specific intent to gather personal identification information. This is called "phishing." Report phishing or other suspicious junk mail to the government website included in Resources.
