Unsolicited email from Liberal Party ...
Unsolicited email from Liberal Party directed voter to data harvesting operation when they clicked unsubscribe
The Liberal Party is being criticised for sending out a campaign email that could confuse recipients into unwittingly submitting personal information to the organisation.
The email contains an unsubscribe button, purporting to offer an opt out.
But in fact, when clicked, it redirects to the party's website, set up to harvest personal data under the guise of a postal vote application.
The email was received by Peter Magor who lives in the Victorian electorate Jagajaga — a safe Labor seat taking in some of Melbourne's outer suburbs.
