MyHelpHub & Trent Steele Abuse Their Affiliates

Somehow - and I say 'somehow' since I don't recall ever signing up for their list - I got on the mailing list & in the affiliate program of MyHelpHub and Trent Steele. I don't want to be on this list - but that doesn't seem to matter to this outfit!

#1: Here is the email I received:

Useful, huh?

#2: I retrieved the so-called unsubscribe link out of that mass of code and went here:

Notice the threats ... "Our newsletter is not optional. If you wish to stop receiving it, you will need to cancel your affiliate account." Great! That's exactly what I want.

" ... the process is irreversible." Does this mean that I couldn't sign up with different information and they wouldn't pay me? Yeah, sure. I believe that all right ... NOT!

#3: "Want to cancel your affiliate account?" Yes, that's exactly what I want - to cancel the account I don't want & don't remember signing up for. Yep. Sounds good to me. But here's the message I get:

Their link is wrong & I cannot get off this mailing list or out of this affiliate program. I am so sick of shady stuff like this! Do they really expect me to ever sell anything promoted by this network? What awful business practices.
