Having done a little digging, I learned it is never a good idea to click the unsubscribe - and it’s likely to be a link that attaches a virus or malware to your computer.
The attached clip from an internet post explains it better than I can.
I am now using care when clearing all the trash from my email. And because of my naivete on the subject, I have a lot of trash.
If anyone finds it helpful, or has other advice, I am grateful.

What I have experience Any site you visit that has terms of agreement most likely sell your address if you click for more information. Good example I was interested in hot tub couple years ago and I responded notify me when available. That site sold my email address on world wide web. Now I get junk/scam emails from all over world. They’re really no way to stop it.
Any free site you sign up for has fine print agreements that basically takes control of you and shares you’re Email address. Once they have it you lost all control. Google good example you search for something they all sudden you get all sorts of advertisements on the subject you searched for.
My suggestion if you don’t want to deal with some spam don’t AGREE to their agreements unless you read the pages of fine print.
