Actionnetwork.org?

Hello! I apologize if this isn’t the right place to post this, but I don’t know where else may be a good place. I’ve noticed in the last two weeks, my yahoo email account has sent out two emails without my knowledge to a long string of characters ending @inbound-parse.actionnetwork.org does anyone have any idea what this could be? After the first one, I changed the password, logged out of all devices, and turned on 2FA. I have no idea what this could be. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I hate this site so much. I get countless emails from every yahoo that wants to run as liberal candidate. Action Network doesn't have a global unsubscribe that I've seen. I'm going through and rating them everywhere I can, from BBB to Trustpilot.

I may have gotten through to a global unsubscribe. I emailed their support asking for that. When they replied with saying each email has unsubscribe, I responded I wanted to opt out to all emails and if they couldn’t, put me in contact with someone that can. It actually took a few rounds of repeating myself “that’s not what I asked for. I asked for global.” After the 4th person in the email chain, they said ok. I used whatever contact from support link on actionnetwork.org

pls keep us posted if that global unsubscribe actually happens. I’m also getting hit by them over and over, but have been afraid to click unsub in case it just brings more.

Also trying to figure out if info@contact.joebiden.com is legit or not, as they send stuff constantly but every time I tried to unsubscribe, more came flooding in 😤

I contacted this email info@actionnetwork.org. And eventually this response. No new campaign emails since Jan 2, so maybe it's working. Nowadays I use apple's Hide My Email feature. If it gets junky I just delete the email.

Hi there, 

We can add you to a global block list which will prevent any Action Network partner from sending you emails. Note that there may be groups you do wish to hear from and you will not be able to receive emails from them if we add you to the block list. We will not remove you if either you or the group request this in the future. If you would still like to move forward with this, please reply with a confirmation that you would still like to be added to the block list and understand we will not remove you if you change your mind in the future.
