Stupid Marketing tactics.

For 2 weeks now my email has been flooded with Black Friday sales crap. FMD it's still 2 weeks away?

Well, they are screwing themselves. I've now unsubscribed from some of the worst. And I suspect a couple more if they keep it up.

They can GAGF'd. I'll shop elsewhere.

Federal Police posted a couple days ago on FB that there's a flood of scammers sending out "Black Friday" sales junk through social media, including text messages. They are nothing to do with the actual companies, they're just click bait to get the stupid people to click them so they then have access to their devices to empty their accounts.

I don't interact with them at all, including the unsubscribe link. Just set your system up to direct anything from that address straight to junk.

Na, these are subscriptions I've had for ages.

I've not been targetted (pardon the pun),,, but the media in general have certainly been making a meal of advertising all manner of wares under the banner.

Even worse, there's no such thing as black Friday in Australia.

I'm marking all that crap as junk mail so it doesn't clutter my inbox.

As good a strategy as any.
