    Got a couple of e-mails from them on one of my mail accounts, even though I never subscribed to them (in fact, at that time I didn’t even know who they were). Marked them as spam, and Gmail never showed me more of their e-mails. If enough people did the same, e-mails from the hellofresh domain may now be is some of the biggest spam filters. Way to shoot themselves in the foot.

      Yeah same thing for me, though I was subscribed to their service for about 6 months. The emails aren’t a problem. It’s the snail mail crap they send every week or so that’s getting old. Haven’t been subscribed to them in about two years but yet I still regularly get those stupid “we miss you!” letters. Just be honest Hello Fresh, you miss my money and me as a potential data harvesting target; you don’t give a shit about me as a person.
