Again I don't think you guys shouldn't work with them, raising money for kids was great, I am just annoyed I'm getting more than 1 email for a service I didn't even sign up for past the first step.

TBH, this is a pretty standard rate of emailing for a marketing push, especially when you're trying to "convert" someone who already showed interest. These aren't unsolicited if you started making an account, and they're reminding you to finish it.

 

If you have a problem with those emails, use the unsubscribe link in the email.

I've gotten the same emails. I know that this isn't necessarily a sponsorship or anything, and this isn't an incredible amount of spam as @AbydosOne

The question is indeed did you click the unsubscribe link and still receive them? Because it's all standard, only if they don't respect your requests to shut up would it become shady.

and also illegal in the US under CAN-SPAM.

I had that problem with TikTok shop for a while. I never signed up with them in any capacity, yet I kept getting emails to sign up with their store thing or whatever. I kept hitting unsubscribe using Gmail and I kept continuing to get emails.

 

I finally figured out that you have to hit an unsubscribe button within the email itself rather than having Gmail do it for you. Still kinda sus, though.
