When you can identify the sender entity (a webshop you've used or a company you've communicated with in some way and possibly have signed up to newsletters from), unsubscribe is normally safe to use. When it's something you are certain that you didn't sign up for, then unsubscribe is useless at best and at worst will alert the sender that the address is live.
