Default Possible unethical business practice by Paradise

I haven't played Paradise in years, but, yesterday, I received a promo email from them. I clicked on the link to be removed from their mailing list. Today, I received another promo email from Paradise and clicked on the link again.

Their link takes you to a third-party page that says: "Are you sure?" blah blah blah, and then you click another link that takes you to a page that says "Unsubscribed." I have now done this twice.

It could be that their system is slow to update, or it could be that the third-party promo company is using the "unsubscribe" link to verify valid email addresses rather than unsubscribe, so that they can continue to send promo material or even sell email lists. I don't know either of those for a fact, and was wondering if anyone does. As far as I'm concerned, if Paradise's agent is doing it, Paradise might as well be doing it.

They aren't the only ones. The late Jetset...I had to write to their support several times about their unsubscribe not working. Threatening legal action eventually worked. I am now starting to get the same problem with PokerRoom. I have used the unsubscribe link a few times without success. First mail will be sent next time......
