Marketing email's subject made me think my card got hacked
A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: "Your booking is confirmed!". This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn't booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw... it was a stupid marketing email...
This kind of marketing should be illegal. Don't use Clink Hostels.
Look up the email for their legal department and demand they cancel all fraudulent bookings under your name. Play dumb a little so they take it up with marketing.
Send a message to their help desk saying you got an email confirmation and would like to cancel it. Act very confused about the situation. Waste their time and make it their problem.
This is like how in recent months I've been receiving "your account will be shut down" messages from services I've been using for literal decades, simply because I only use them 2-3 times a year, when they are actually useful to me, rather than regard them as some sort of social media platform.
It's super pathetic attention whoring by companies that lost any sense of what value they bring to their customers.
lemmy.ml has an AWESOME censorship system. If even say it’s BITCHIN’! Yesterday someone also brought up its kinda sad when you’re on that instance and someone says “this material is fire retardant”
I get these too.
The best part is that they keep getting added to my Google calendar. I have the option tuned off in my Google account settings, I report them as spam as soon as I get them, but I still get pop up notifications from my Google calendar reminding me of my "trip".
That's because gmail automatically adds .ics files to your calendar. I don't even think there's a way to disable it. I checked and my solution was to not use gmail for those things. For spam emails luckily I don't have this problem
At least it didn't state "Your booking is confirmed for the presidential suite in (insert very expensive hotel and location here)" and make you feel you need to make a lot of phone calls to many different places while trying to figure out what is going on.
It makes no sense. They're basically asking you to travel out of your way just to spend money on them. Like, I don't know, a prostitute would. What kind of hostel is this place? It makes no sense as far as marketing goes. Unless it's you know, THAT kind of hostel.
I get physical junk mail that makes it seem like I purchased something, subscribed to something, or signed up for something. It's infuriating to say the least, probably illegal, too.
I just bought a car and my wife keeps wanting me to look at all the "final notice" crap we keep getting. I told her if it isn't from our insurance company then toss it.
You should regularly book rooms with Thema and cancel the very last poasible second to cause financial harm. At some point they will man you and stop mailing you
