Gay Media Forums Confirm Your Registration Scams

Cybercriminals are attempting to harvest email addresses of potential victims by tricking online users into responding to fake Gay Media forums email messages like the one below. Therefore, online users who have received the same emails asking them to respond with the word "unsubscribe" are advised not to do so. This is how cybercriminals harvest email addresses of their potential victims and use them to scam or infect their victims' computers or mobile with viruses, spyware or other malware.

I Clicked on asking them to close the account, I saw a bunch of random emails and it made me suspicious, then I looked at the email address from where it came from, and I realised that something was wrong, I googled it and found out it was a scam, what can I do now that I replied to them asking to close the account? I am not g*y.

Does anyone have any answers?

Thank you in advance

I've been getting ones from what looks to be the same or similar people for the past year, usually telling me I made a big purchase on Amazon or some American superstore that I literally don't have in this country. I've no idea where they got my email address because I'm usually very careful with what sites I use it to sign up to, but this particular email did genuinely give me a laugh because I *am* g*y and it felt almost like they knew, even though the obvious intention is for the reciever to be disgusted and reply unsubscribe or whatever.

So. I clicked to Unsubscribe and remove buttons and opened a Mail box to send them an email to unsubscribe it.

I was a fool. Now, how can I solve it, and protect my data?
