Double opt in required should be a law. When my email is given by mistake by similarly named people but I can't correct the mistake because only customers can contact them. Oh the iritating irony of getting security tips from the coop bank when I'm not the account holder.

I've had this problem with a Netflix subscription in a foreign language. I kept getting mail for it, but couldn't read what it was about, and couldn't easily opt out. The only option was to reset password, login, change the language, and then cancel the subscription.

At least I was fortunate I could easily cancel the subscription. You can't do that with bank accounts.

Cut-n-paste into Google Translate to fix the unreadable problem. Interesting they made it that easy to cancel.
