Hi,
Just want to confirm: Is it safe to unsubscribe from the spam to avoid unsolicited mails.

The unsubscribe link is leading me to *www.harmonyespecially.com/login/process.asp?user=*******@gmail.com&token=5B46F3069B1989E38

Any idea?

Is harmonyspecially.com the mailing list manager of FOX news? If yes, then 'Unsubscribing may help' .

But if its not the mailing list manager, then its a spoofed email. Don't follow any link. Simply mark as spam and delete(may be it could help).

Clicking on UNSUBSCRIBE link in a spam mail may be like inviting more trouble. So if you encounter a spam newsletter, just mark it as spam and do nothing else.

@vishalgupta,
Just ignore it. By clicking those links, spammers would come to know that your id is alive! Just another way to harvest email ids...
