WASHINGTON (Reuters)
Consumers should not submit their e-mail addresses
to a Web site that promises to reduce unwanted
"spam" because it is fraudulent, the U.S. Federal
Trade Commission said on Thursday.
Though the Web site found at (http://www.unsub.us)
promises to reduce unsolicited commercial e-mail,
those who sign up could end up receiving more spam
than ever or even fall victim to identity theft,
the FTC said.
The unsub.us Web site is not affiliated with the
government and consumers should not submit their
e-mail addresses to the site, the FTC said in a
news release.
FTC officials in the past have warned not to sign
up for other "do not spam" sites as they could be
a way for spammers to collect more e-mail addresses.
