Beware of Gmail unsubscribe scam
Scammers are sneaking fake "unsubscribe" links into marketing emails, hoping you'll click. Instead of clearing your inbox, these clicks can tip off cybercriminals that your email is active—making you a bigger target for spam or phishing. Some links even send you to sketchy sites that try to steal your info.
TL;DR
How to stay safe
Stick to Gmail's built-in unsubscribe button instead of clicking random links in emails. Mark anything suspicious as spam, and try using separate email addresses for sign-ups or promos. A little caution goes a long way in keeping your inbox (and personal data) safe.
