You are so right. I just mentioned to my daughter, that I almost regret entering competitions. Time to unsubscribe. |

Me too, been unsubscribing on the phone all day long!
I don't usually bother unsubscribing after a comp unless they keep bothering me, but today and the last couple of days have been crazy.
EDIT: Just got 2 more while I was reading this thread and responding. So I unsubscribe both, and the next thing you know I get another message from
one of them informing me that I've been unsubscribed! |

There are a LOT of opportunists breaking the anti-spam laws - companies that were unsubscribed from many, many years ago and some that weren't even
subscribed to - all trying to take advantage of the infuriating Black Friday frenzy. SMS spam messages too.

There are so many that I just searched 'Black Friday' and deleted them 100 at a time. They defeated their own purpose.

This made me laugh so much. My husband was quite annoyed at the number he was getting and I said ditto. LOL. Hopefully we all get a win or two from it
to make it worth it. |
