<p>Got it, too. Cue the junk mail.</p>
<p>I just got it, too. SMOOTH MOVES, COLLEGE BOARD. T__T</p>
<p>So is this a fake email from CB or they sold our emails?</p>
<p>yup, got this too.
oh collegeboard…</p>
<p>I got this too! When i first opened it, and it said ‘Notice from College Board’ i thouht it had something to do with my SATs scores lol</p>
<p>I just got this. I didn’t even know about it because now College Board stuff goes to my spam (last year it wouldn’t work when I tried to unsubscribe to the SAT question of the day… thankfully my friend posted something about it on fb so I checked there).</p>
<p>GOOD ONE COLLEGE BOARD! Can I sue them now? XD</p>
<p>@Rainbow Rose: My friend posted it on FB, too, before I got my email. Good thing. 
Anyway, this is one funny piece of spam. Way to go, CB. You’re the best.</p>
<p>We are not allowed to share their “private” information such as AP test multiple choice, but yet they can share our private info! :P</p>
<p>It’s not just College Board. JPMorgan Chase also uses Epsilon and customers received a similar email today.</p>
<p>and it happened again…
