I'm sure the SQL query that sees it will be shocked and immediately change its ways.

I'm a developer who works on that (type of) system for a living.

If you receive an automated marketing email from a dealership, they are _legally obligated_ to provide an unsubscribe button. We use SendGrid for that purpose, but I'm not sure who other companies use.

If there isn't an unsubscribe button, or you continue receiving emails after unsubscribing, you should be able to file a complaint with the FTC.

> should be able to file a complaint with the FTC

"should" is the key word. The FTC does not have a complaint form for spam, nor have I been able to find any other published reporting mechanism.

If you do know of such way to report it, please let me know.

I know. I am poking fun at the suggestion that putting someone else’s email in the unsubscribe form would accomplish anything helpful. Obviously, you’d need to contact a human to get a response.
