No! No! No! The MAJORITY of spammers use unsubscribe links at the bottom of emails as confirmation that there's a mailbox on the other end.
Either mark it as junk in your mail client or report it as spam to your provider. Under no circumstances should you respond to a spammer's email solicitation!

When I was young and stupid (wait I am being redundant) I fell for that one. SPAM to my email account 100 fold. Eventually I had to abandoned that email address and get another.
I learned how to use the TOOLS with my email and set up rules that pretty much keep the clutter from my inbox. Since some legitimate email ends up in the junk mail box by mistake every so often I check and then empty the box.
I subscribe to my Rep's Newsletter which she sends out on Fridays and sometimes it is moved to my junk mail folder, so I have to move it into my inbox folder.

Exactly! Unsubscribe links associated with real spammers should never be clicked on. Unsubscribe links should only be used in cases where one actually signed up to receive email notices from a known, legitimate source but have since tired of them.
Also, I highly recommend using multiple, temporary, expendable email addresses.
