Email Opt Out Links not working ...GRRRR

Because I am taking advantage of so many tips on MSE, I'm starting to get loads of junkish emails from places I bought things from!

I don't mind having to opt out of each one .... but what does annoy me is when the link goes to an error page! Some of them I've been trying to opt out of for months:mad:

Does anyone know if there is somehwere where I can report these sites?

many thanks

    dont bother trying to opt out of email or text messages, just mark them as spam.

    And how about these emails from Africa? They're already flagged as spam, but is there any ways to make it stop?

    I wish I could find one! However as for replying to text messages they know then you actually have an active number & you wont get away from them.

    Can I add I find the majority of emails from "Nigeria" amusing. I like the one from HMRC that stated if I did not enter my details correctly I would be "criminally persued & persecuted".

    I hate it when that happens. The other really annoying thing is when you click on 'opt out' or 'unsubscribe' and it takes you to a login page. I don't bother after that, just mark it as spam.

    I have a Yahoo! account and you can block certain email address. See if you email provider can do the same.
