At one point I went to a job site for a company called Appen when looking for some side work. If you haven’t heard of it, it is like Upwork or other sites where you can enter your information on the site and look for flexible side jobs. I never fully entered my information beyond my email after looking at the offerings and deciding it would not work for me. Nothing against the offerings, and from what I’ve read, they are a decent site to use. But it wasn't for me, so I closed my account... or so I thought.
Forgetting about it weeks passed, and I received a message from them saying,
Greetings!
We noticed you were previously interested to be part of Appen Connect (formerly known as Leapforce) and have submitted your application. We currently have new opportunities in your locale that may be of interest to you.

Not wanting to participate I emailed support saying:
Can you please remove me from your system so that I can stop receiving these emails.
Thank you,
The response from Appen

Clearly not reading my email that I don't want an account and I also don't want to be on their email lists, I reply:
I don't want it re-activated I want it closed and I want to stop receiving emails from you. Did you not read my email at all?
Continuing to prove the reply's are done by a bot or a person that doesn't read, I received:

I haven't bothered to reply as it is obvious that the support team at Appen is not supportive at all, I have continued to receive emails from there saying things like this:
This is a reminder that we are waiting on additional information for your ticket# : Re: Appen Connect: New Opportunities are Now Available!
If we do not hear back from you within the next 2 days we will assume you no longer need help with your inquiry.
Please see below for details on the conversation:
support@connect-mail.appen.com
Not only have they not removed me from their system, they are emailing me more often than they did before. But it will hopefully stop after the most recent email requesting my feedback on the quality of support I received.
We'd love to hear what you think of our customer service. Please take a moment to answer one simple question by clicking either link below: How would you rate the support you received?
Good, I'm satisfied
Bad, I'm unsatisfied
You can probably guess which option I chose.
