Misleading email titles from Internet marketers

I receive many emails every day.

I have subscribed to many lists by Internet Marketers.

Unfortunately, what it means is, I receive a lot of emails with misleading titles.

Here are some examples :
  • More Bad News For You Philippe...

  • Notification of payment received

  • This is the most important email I have ever sent

  • Anything started with RE : when you know you didn't contact that person

  • Notification of a Cleared eCheck Payment

  • As you requested Philippe


If you open these emails, you might see statement like these :

  • This has already been paid for by me for you Philippe


Or, you get an email with a misleading "from". So instead of receiving, say, an email from phmoisan, the from would be :

  • From : admin
  • From : support
Off the top of my head, I can't think of other examples, but there are many others.

What do you do when you receive these types of emails ? Do you unsubscribe ? Or do you let it pass because you do receive interesting info from that person ? Or, do you respond "I cancel " to let the person why you unsubscribed ?

Feel free to share your point of view and experiences here.
