| unless the product manager decided the link in the email is track.monkey.exe/sus/path/spyware?c=behhdywbsncocjdb&b=ndbejsudndbd&k=uehwbehsysjendbdhjdodj or something 2x–3x longer |

| ▲ | KingOfCoders 8 days ago | parent [-] | | The question was "How do you know the email comes from that website? " And the answer was, I can find out if the email is from abc.com
by looking at the link, which should also be abc.com I don't click in "track.monkey.exe". I don't click tracking links. I pay a lot of money for my newsletter provider because I can turn off (most) tracking links. | | |
| ▲ | soiltype 6 days ago | parent [-] | | The question was framed that way but in fact this conversation isn't about your personal resistance to a particular scam vector. Many sites do offload 100% of their emailing to 3rd party trackers. Therefore nobody can use those sites without engaging in 3rd party tracking. Therefore these sites have created an environment favorable for this scam vector. |
