    At least two separate attempts. Not easy to avoid.

    I believe the endless sewer of micro-scams is part of what broke America.

        [email protected] yep it was pretty egregious at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada.

        They'd ask for loyalty, and then present an email dialogue (with your email prefilled because they already have it) purportedly for emailing a digital receipt, but it was actually a form for mailing list signup
