UPDATE:  As you can see below, the founder of Lead411 has commented with a  certain level of explanation that certianly mollifies my inability-to-unsubscribe-related angst.  I don’t remember the exact info I used to sign-up, to validate his comment about temporary restrictions on “fishy” accounts.  Given that my corporate charter lapsed years ago, I could buy that as being marked “fishy”.

 

UPDATE2:  I had further off-line discussion with Tom, and feel that his explanation for my trial-signup’s limitations was reasonable.  More impressively, he immediately added a proper “abuse@” address to their mail system based on my suggestion.
