Tax Act's Unsubscribe Has Been Broken for Months

Admiral Patrick@dubvee.org to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 246 points –

Tax Act sends multiple promotional emails daily. Attempting to unsubscribe does nothing, and I've tried for months.

Finally, today, I opened the browser dev console and see that it's throwing JS errors when you attempt to save. I'm 100% sure this is a feature and not a bug. The only other way they will remove you is by writing a physical letter and mailing it out to them.

Moral of the story: Do not use TaxAct. Fuck Tax Act.

Time to start marking them as spam and hurting their sender reputation.

Nah, time to report them for violating the law.

I run my own email, so I'm basically reporting it to myself lol (though Spam Assassin does train from the spam folder).

I did finally just setup a filter rule to send those directly to spam after checking back to see that the actual, tax-filing emails come from a different address.

But yeah, if you get those to gmail or somehwere, definitely report them as spam.
