There are even services that send you newsletter shit although you made sure you're opted out.
Also there's newsletter with a link to opt out but the link is just fake. I hate it so much.

Bandsintown did this to me, and when I unsubscribed it said it would take 48 hours, and in that time I think they sent 15 emails.
