Marketing email's subject made me think my card got hacked

A hostel company I stayed with a while back emailed me with the subject: "Your booking is confirmed!". This made me frantically check all my accounts since I hadn't booked any hostels recently. I was super concerned until I opened the email and saw... it was a stupid marketing email...

This kind of marketing should be illegal. Don't use Clink Hostels.

That's a good way for their emails to all get marked as scams. They think they're being slick, but are actually destroying their marketing campaign.

Literally who the hell is gonna see this and think "ah what the hell?"
