Has anyone tried the unsubscribe link from Blabber Buzz Spam emails?

In the last 2 weeks or so, I've been receiving a ton (at least 10) junk mails a day from something called BlabberBuzz.  No clue why, or how they got my email, since I don't follow news or gossip.  Luckily, it goes straight to Junk.  I don't open functionality or pictures, just delete them.  However, I'm tired of getting them.  Twice, I've right clicked on the email (all look like same email address), clicked Junk/Block Sender.  However, I got 3 more first thing this morning, so the blocking won't work (wonder if the fact that the email address starts with reply is the reason).  I noticed near the bottom of the emails, there is an unsubscribe link, but I'm chicken to click on a link in an unknown, unwanted obviously garbage email.  I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried unsubscribing successfully using the link.

Never click on the unsubscribe to remove yourself from junk mail, because it tells the sender there is a live email.  Set up a filter to automatically delete the mail so you never see it.  [Not by right clicking, btw].  Are you using webmail or an email client?

I don't know about hacking but you'll probably start seeing a lot of spam email now.  Start marking them as spam [make sure your spam folder is turned on], or you can set up a filter to delete them before you ever see them.

I just noticed a blabberbuzz email in my spam folder. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. Does the fact that my spam filter caught it mean the same as previously stated, it will be deleted? I’ll probably delete it myself.

I’ve also been getting spam calls from the tRump campaign asking (demanding) donations [Edited: "Political"]

I clicked on the unsubscribe link and it leads to a blank page.

[Edited: "Political"] Within 15 minutes, these emails started pouring in.

@jonalisa And that is why you never unsubscribe to spam emails.
