Sometimes you can opt-out of receiving messages from the bank or business where you subscribed. You'll see a message that informs you that it could take 3-6 weeks for you to stop receiving emails. In this time (and before), they're busy selling your address to anyone they can.

Other times, the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of emails will unsubscribe you from that newsletter while simultaneously subscribing you to a dozen more.

And still other times, the unsubscribe link is missing, broken, or ineffective at getting your address off any lists.
