  • Temu and Shein will be getting more expensive come 25th April 2025.
  • The companies are blaming increases to their operating expenses thanks to sweeping export tariffs from the US.
  • Other international companies will likely be increasing their prices in the coming months, including for South Africans.

I don't shop on either, but somehow Shien started emailing me and Gmail report spam and unsubscribing isn't stopping the emails.

Block the email sender and don't use the unsubscribe button as that can have malware

Can you elaborate about having malware through unsubscribe buttons ? If you have some exemple too to facilitate my research it would be great. Have a nice evening

Not necessarily malware, but clicking on any link in the email, including the unsubscribe button, will let them know there is someone reading, and even clicking on links in the mail that goes to this address.

Here is Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons latest podcast. He is interviewing a cyber security expert and at the time stamp I gave he talks about the malware briefly. I've also read about this in the past as well but can't supply evidence.
