Spamn email newsletter from RAC/Aviva

Anyone else get the alleged new 'Newsletter from RAC/Aviva lately?

I got my pile of spam this morning alledging I had 'subscribed' to it.
Strange that when I try and unsubscribe, the unsubscribe address bounces?
These companies are now resorting to the gutter tactics of others to advertise their wares, disgusting

    if it was a true spam message you may have just 'marked your email as valid/active' by clicking any of the links in the message, best you should have done is marked it as junk and moved on.

    also never click the display images button on spam messages as that confirms that the email is active aswell.

    Well thanks for that sterling advice. having been one of Demon Internet's first customers I'm pretty sure I know what to click and what not to click.I did mark it as junk and moved on
    I was simply enquiring if anyone else had received one.
    And BTW, Spam mail isnt always dangerous or carrying virus or active links.
