I doubt my friend knew what they were getting me into. There is so much deceptive marketing demonstrated here, from the personalized sender and subject lines to the fake FWD/Re/etc.

Is there no way to unsubscribe? If there isn't, it's breaking US and EU laws and you should report them.

The deceptive subject lines are a violation of the US "CAN-SPAM" Act already. I shouldn't need to open the email and read it to find out how to "unsubscribe" (and even using that term is bullshit, since I never subscribed).
