Spam emails

by bigperm10011 » Tue Feb 07, 2012 7:05 am
Hi, I signed up for beat the GMAT website Friday. This morning (Monday) I started getting emails from the website starting at 8 am. It's 9:30 and I've reviewed 150 emails from you... And counting. There is no unsubscribe link as there should be. Please discontinue this activity. Thanks

WHOA, 150 e-mails? That is ridiculous and doesn't make any sense!

I'm going to follow up with you via e-mail right now, if you don't mind I'd like to figure this out.

Thanks,

Eric

By the way, is anyone else seeing this kind of e-mail frequency as well? If so, I am appalled and this must be fixed ASAP on our end!

Thanks mankey for confirming. Just a heads up to everyone, I think we discovered what happen and it was definitely a bug on our end. We shut down these e-mail notifications for now and will be fixing in the next few days.

Appreciate your patience and sorry to anyone who might have been affected.
