A bunch of spammers

I have never sent an email outside my company network, and I have never had any contact with this company, yet somehow they are seeing fit to spam me with multiple emails daily, to en email address they should not even have, for things that are totally unrelated to me or my job. A bunch of spamming chancers.

Spam hell

Spam hell! NEVER EVER release your email to this company, because they will spam you endlessly with emails, and there is no way to unsubscribe (I never subscribed to start with).

Run As Fast As You Can. Extreme Spam, Borderline Cybersecurity Risk

Yup. The masses are right. This is spam on a completely inappropriate level.

At no point did I ever sign up, or at least at no point did I ever KNOW I was signing up for anything. There was no consent here.

But out of nowhere I started receiving emails, 5+ a day, every morning, and unsubscribing does nothing. You couldn't pay me to log in to an account to try to "review my preferences for all email types" to take care of it all at once, because I wouldn't trust that it was legitimate. That should be accessible without any logins just like it is with every other service. I also shouldn't have an account because I never created one so what would I be logging in to?

Did I tick someone off and their revenge was signing me up for this garbage that I never asked for?

Don't ever engage with this company on purpose, because if you do, they won't ever let you disengage. I am currently looking into further complaints I can file with agencies. It's absolutely stupid that I had to create a separate email rule to filter these people out of my life.

Booooooo BrightTalk. I hate your existence. Every single person who receives these emails should not touch a thing in them and treat them as potentially containing malware. If you have the ability, block the entire sending domain for good.

Never signed up - Cant unsubscribe

Never signed up, try to unsubscribe with no luck. - Looks like its part of TechRadar, yet they are scamming and not letting go...

They keep spamming even though they promise to be unsubscribed after 72 hours

Cannot unsubscribe!

Cannot unsubscribe!
Connected to a relevant webinar once, but now I get loads of irrelevant emails. Unsubscribe does not work.

I may have signed up to receive these…

I may have signed up to receive these emails though I can't say for sure. Even so, I have tried to unsubscribe around 10 times and I still keep getting emails. I'm going to make a filter in Gmail then report them.

BrighTALK - IMPOSSIBLE TO UNSUBSCRIBE

I have hit the unsubscribe button on multiple occasions, but it does not let you unsubscribe.
BrighTalks garbage keeps coming. This has got to be illegal, besides from the BBB, who can I complain to?

Ungodly amount of spam email!

How did I get on the email spam list? I certainly didn't sign up for it but suddenly get email saying "Welcome to SpamTALK, I mean BrightTALK. Don't bother trying to unsubscribe because it doesn't work. What's worse is that they have the standard emails that come in multiple times a day along with ones for every day like monday @ brighttalk.com, tuesday @brighttalk.com, wednesday @brighttalk.com, etc.

Horrible company!

Spam, spam, spam.

Who's ready for SPAM? If you love SPAM, you'll love BrightTalk!

Multiple emails per day. Sometimes I receive the SAME email a week apart. They really really want to make sure I open their terrible spam.

Unsubscribing? Forget it. BrightTalk is too cool for unsubscribing. Sign up one time for a lifetime of annoying emails with no way to opt out.

Brilliant! I wish I could rate less than one star.
