Unsubscribe spam email?

[arlo]

I get about 50 spam emails a night on my hotmail windows 10 account. The same ones every night. Is there any danger in clicking on unsubscribe at the bottom of email?

The best thing I found to do is go to the outlook website tag the email as Phishing, then block them. At one point this month I was getting over 300 a day after I started to do this, they drop to less than 3, and some days none at all.

I hope this helps.
