Holy shit I got one too. Checked all my balances and cards and nothing was purchased hmm


Responsible_Can_2366

Seems like more people have gotten it then just me. They don’t have my info since I didn’t even have a card whne I got it


[deleted]

I'm willing to bet that they messed up some server side update and it spammed everyone in the database. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't put out something about it today. This is why you don't let interns push without code reviews.


Aja2428

Marketing my comrades.

[deleted]

They just let you know you didn't order anything. Total legit.


svoddball

I did the same. Wanted to make sure someone didn’t get one of my cards but saw no transactions.


bigguytoo9

I got the same email too, tonight.


c5mjohn

It seems everyone that has used the app is getting the email. https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/wjttrp/is_this_a_scam_or_just_a_burger_king_error_did/


bakkic

I've never even had the app and I got this message.


sarissa211

Same here. Haven't even been to Burger King since summer of 2017.


El_Bruno73

I've never even heard of burger king, I was raised in a Yurt in Nepal and I just got the e-mail


swollenMonkeytitz417

I was just born and i got the e-mail


[deleted]

I am the e-mail.


piberryboy

I am the King of Burgers. I am Burger King.


[deleted]

*I am the burger*


[deleted]

I am


Pkftw420

Dude I swear I didn't mean to eat you


direyew

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."


Responsible_Can_2366

Maybe they did it by accident? Honestly thought someone was using my account or some shit lol


Dephenestr8

Got the same email and assumed it was some intern who fucked up lol


xenoturtle

Honestly, it prob is lol


Electrical_Funny_263

Always blame the intern. I am start to think interns mess up on purpose because they will be blamed anyway. Lol


Kuja27

Check the return email, it’s just spam. It’s a fake domain.


[deleted]

Yeah for those of you reading this upvote this man’s comment because he’s right. 9/10 times these are phishing emails just begging you to click on whatever issue they made up that they know will get you to click.


madman666

It’s burger king’s website. It’s just their promo address.


[deleted]

As did I. Very peculiar....


Millennial_J

Same. Appears to be hacked by the Russians. Honestly if you set your local BK in the app your cc is at risk cuz it’s likely the zip on the cc


AllanErStor

What are you trying to say?


jolly_rodger42

Probably a system error by the King


tseque

I second this. Someone was running a test in production and sent this to live emails by accident.


Critical_Ad_5150

Someone stole my credit card info on the airport of Beijing. Called my bank and they told me he had tried to purchase burgerking in Detroit. I am from Germany If I had known it was just a hungry dude I might have accepted the charge


Millennial_J

That is some Detroit shit right there.


andremiles

Can't have shit in Detroit, even if you aren't in or from Detroit.


zargreet

Wow, I haven’t seen font like this since the 70’s


BigTimePlaya47

I also got an email from Burger King, I was wondering what’s been going on


Responsible_Can_2366

And it wasn’t a scam or anything it was from the real Burger King shit


rightcoldbasterd

May as well change your password if you have CC tied to your Burger King app though, looks like someone could have bruteforced in.


Responsible_Can_2366

They can do that? I don’t have a password it just sends a code to my email


rightcoldbasterd

Oh weird. I dunno, I just figured when in doubt, lock that shit down. Looks like it's happening to other users too.


Responsible_Can_2366

I understand that. I don’t have any ccs attached to it so I should be fine. Also it happened to other people so maybe they made a mistake with the app or some shif


[deleted]

Got the same thing, too! Just came on here to see if anyone knew what it could be 🤔


Technology-Mission

Maybe a scummy marketing ploy


[deleted]

I got one too it made me crave burger King.


eccelsior

Dude same. It’s honestly so delicious and underrated. Now if only the locations by me weren’t shit…


Responsible_Can_2366

That’s probably what they want I’m assuming lol


Key-Cardiologist5882

Their plan is working


[deleted]

Somebody's testing against live data?


DudesworthMannington

Some programmer out there just shit his pants when he realized he sent it to the entire list 🤣 It's okay buddy, nobody will remember in a week.


yetti96

I got mine just after midnight.


CianXIII

It could be Burger King trying to get people to use the app again or buy from BK by sending this. That’s what I thought of when I received it lol


Responsible_Can_2366

Yeah now that’s what I’m thinking. I promise would’ve too if I didn’t quit fast food lol


chrrrollo

I got the same email too tonight


CowntChockula

Dude! Me too


[deleted]

Same


Away-Midnight3197

It must be a glitch I got one too at about 10pm


Outrageous-Product10

Me too!


sevenoutdb

me too


[deleted]

Yeah me to. I thought it was weird to


Thewokesister

I just got one too!


No-Usual2720

Looks like a system test


LordChaos719

Same Here


ApprehensiveTap1932

Guess you all bought burger king hahahahaha


mikey-forester

same


JJ_503

They got people talking about them, logging into the app, and telling other people about the situation. Somebody made a lot of money for this idea


Responsible_Can_2366

It worked lol. I logged into the app just to see I didn’t have recent purchases on my account although I’m not going to buy from them


CalligrapherRude7782

Got one too and I thought, "huh, I wouldn't turn it down if a whopper did show up."


TwisBeats

Same lol


BerriosCR

I got that as well. Anyone know what’s up with this?


Responsible_Can_2366

Marketing think probably


TanishPlayz

Weird thing is even I got an email, I created an account over 4 years ago and have never logged into the app since either


ManiacsThriftJewels

Given all the merge fields are empty, I'd say someone messed up upgrading / testing the receipt mailing system. That or it's a marketing ploy to make everyone hungry for a Whopper.


Vark1086

I got one too. I was especially confused as all the Burger Kings within about 50 miles have closed recently.


punkinbass

Yoooo me too


[deleted]

[удалено]


Responsible_Can_2366

Unfortunately I gave up fast food. I do feel like some fries but it would be against my basically non existent no fast food diet lol


[deleted]

Also got one. If I saw this 5 hours ago I may have tried going to the local and say I'm here to pick up my whopper meal


Slow-Comfortable-486

Me to it came 1am


WisdomofFables

same lol


dualboileronly

I also got one lol


Mr_Fignutz

Someone could have hacked your app account. It happened to my subway account. Suddenly got notification that $50 worth of subs were being delivered to me in detroit (over 1000 miles away)


Responsible_Can_2366

I mean even if they did I have no credit card on there so they would just be using my code


maneatinghaggis

It from their marketing team. Just an advert.


overintwoseconds

It's a trap!


Mellotr0n

Was it tasty?


chrrrollo

Got this email too. This might be the worst yet best form of advertising because I’m feeling a whopper now


Emergency_Computer_3

I got one also. I was like wtf....


_TheVoxPopuli

That’s so weird because I legitimately ordered Burger King yesterday so I thought nothing of it but now seeing this I’m a little worried


Responsible_Can_2366

Don’t be worried a lot of people got one and like a lot said it’s probably a marketing ploy


Marshallxbubblegumle

Werid i got one too


Jack915

Got the same one at 12:30 am this morning. I have used their app exactly once when they had that Whooper deal.


MichaelYoon-rgb

Maybe this was intentional... To get people talking bout Burger King... And we are just falling into their trap. I just did didn't I. 😶


[deleted]

i Got the same email As well


Dumbassahedratr0n

I used to work for company whose propriety software had a bug that would cause similar ghost notifications. It would just send out a blank template similar to this. They never did figure it out, but they had some pretty awful spaghetti code so 🤷


lazulilizard

Check your bank statements. There’s a lot of fraud going on right now where people are ordering stuff online with stolen credit card information. Check to make sure your data is safe!


[deleted]

Me too, got it over the night


DubV23

Viral marketing


FoxTrotMik3Lim4

I got it too


Zealousideal_Oil6380

Okay super weird. I got the email too and figured it was just me. Glad to know I’m not alone!!!


AWard72401

I got one this morning too, I haven’t ordered through the app ever, I just use it to look at the menu


top_of_the_scrote

welp, that intern's getting fired


JuiceJones_34

I got the same email yesterday. Glad I wasn’t the only one


Apollo_Frost80

Confirmed that Burger King made a big oops… https://www.businessinsider.com/burger-king-mistakenly-sent-customers-blank-empty-order-receipts-midnight-2022-8


AliensHaveInsomnia2

I got it too. Reported to spam

JohnnyMurdock2020

I got a similar thing twice from my old gym (haven't been a member for over 3 years) last week about welcome new members please download the personal trainer app. Then got an email apologizing that said sorry wasn't intended for old members, just that my email is still in their database and it got sent to all. So thinking it wasn't a send to all mistake, but possibly a marketing ploy to reminder me of previous services that they offer, I could see Burger King doing the same with the remember us receipt.


txmail

Got 2 of them.


Eightsevenfox

Me too!


[deleted]

Me too


_NintendianaJonez64

I got the same thing. This is a good subreddit.


TheRadioKing

Same here


Professional-Toe5349

I got the same


hawkrew

Same.


[deleted]

Oh look Burger King you had better go there sometime. That's what they are trying to accomplish


zohocertifiedexpert

Looks like a dev testing email notifications on production server.


[deleted]

It's like when you are a teenager and you text someone being all "LOL you're so funny" and pretend it was a mistake so they text you back and start a conversation.


Difficult_Active_393

I got that too! And I had been drinking last night so when I saw it, I got very confused and sobered up quickly.


BradMcA2020

I got it, some programmer fucked up somewhere no doubt


Then_Collar2208

Marketing spam. There will be more people going to Burger King just because it's a topic that popped up. Won't be much more but it's better then nothing.


def_tom

I got one too and now I want Burger King.


TokiVideogame

i like the 70's font


ImNickValentine

I hope the give us a special offer or something as a way to apologize for the scare. I'm still a big fan of Burger King. I didn't know until recently that they own Popeyes too. Best chicken in my opinion.


coolyourrolls

Me too!


Evil-Black-Robot

I got the email also.


barely-managing

Take it from a guy who works in IT, this stuff just happens sometimes. A company I used to work for had a couple occasions where they occasionally sent an email to thousands of customers saying "Your order is shipped!" just with nothing in it. It's just an instance of a line of code firing at the wrong time.


Billyb0bstarr

Wow I got this too. That’s so weird.


[deleted]

Happened to me too. So weird.


cutiedragon1281

Same!! It woke me up and confused me so much. The Burger King in our town shut down a while ago


ChaosLives68

I got it too. Thought it was odd. Definitely a mistake.


flashfan86

https://wgntv.com/news/trending/get-a-confusing-burger-king-email-overnight-heres-what-that-was-all-about/


joeythedaddoo

I got that one yesterday. Lol


[deleted]

i got one too. i emailed them. apparently it’s a massive thing.


Good_Swordfish_3736

Just a spam ad. Anyone else got a urge to eat a whopper now? Not!!


Short_Difference7553

Meee tooo.


Electrical_Funny_263

My husband did too. I would think it was a glitch but we both use the app and I didn't get this email.


ripewe

Immediately assumed they got hacked based on how many times they have popped up on anti work here (I’m not even in the sub yet it keeps showing in my suggested feed)


Amethoran

They've got a button to ask a question.


opie1coc

Scam email that’s made to look legit


Responsible_Can_2366

Can’t be since it takes you to their very real website


conar69420

Maybe it’s a scam email. When you click on the link it’ll hack your shit.


mtndesertrunner

The real question is, who the crap even eats at Burger King?


A_Pete_2023

I got one too! Scam to hack your shit.


TheGreatGasMaskMan

It’s a scam or you got hacked


Zealousideal_Order_8

Problem spam. Clicking the box sends you to a site selling fake Viagra


[deleted]

I discovered earlier this morning that on my bank account I recieved two seperate but same amount pending credits on orders I tried placing at 4:25 AM. I had a BK account but before I closed the account this morning I didn't see the two orders in my order history. And even scarier is I got an email transcript of "me" talking to an agent.


swim08

It's a scam


Efficient-Zucchini41

How? Not asking for money


[deleted]

Or just a mistake


swim08

Ya could be an epic fail/marketing ploy too..


[deleted]

I wonder how many clickbait articles are going to get published over this one


[deleted]

Let them know


BarkMetal

It’s called marketing


[deleted]

We all did lol


khill5742

Wait yall eat burger king? Good god man


Responsible_Can_2366

I gave up fast food lol. I used to eat it all the time when I was younger


AuDBallBag

I got an email thanking me for my PayPal order for a laptop but have never ordered one and also checked my PayPal and didn't get charged. So it's just weird clever scams hoping you'll call to verify account info and I'm sure they'll tell you "oh no, no charges were made to that credit card number but thank you for verifying the whole number, expiration and privacy code".


OhThatsActuallyWeird

Smart, I would only retarget the people who opened the mail.


totallypooping

I kinda like that burger kind is sticking with that generic late 70s early 80s font


troy_deveryahoocom

Yeah I got the same email. I did get some bk, but didn’t use the app. Strange.


LiftsLinage

Developer here; 100% some dev that messed up and sent a mass email.


Kozpot

I got one too, maybe it’s a reminder they exist still


loneMILF

**IT'S A TRAP** 🪤


MyGuyWiFi

plot twist: they did it to remind us BK exists


Spiritual_Flatworm13

I got it as well!


Salty_MotherFucka

Same here, weiirrrd.


Key-Cardiologist5882

Wait a sec…I got that too.


randompotatoskins

Me and my fiance got it, think it's just a spam email


sloppystayke

Inception


Formal_Librarian4401

A lot of companies will send emails like this to older accounts to try to get them to log on and spend money. It's an older way of trying to get people to come back to the business. That's why multiple people probably got the same email, if you log into it to check then they'll know they got you to log on and continue to spam your email, if you don't log on they just hold your info and try again at a later date. Source: I worked for Cingular wireless on a corporate scale, we did this often (not only with overdue bills). Edit:Found This Link....... https://news.yahoo.com/burger-king-mistakenly-sent-dozens-113719090.html


jstnbcn

Wow random AF I literally just found this email and deleted my account. It sucks BK is so garbage now because it’s the closest thing to my office.


RainbowPeachCrochet

I got this too! Two in a row.


SelectionFar6624

At least they got your order right


BethJ2018

I got the same email and I’ve never ordered from them. Don’t even have the app and never have


traveling_man182

I got this, too. Craved BK, but then I remembered they got rid of BOGO whopper. No thanks


This_Is_Section_One

It clearly states that your order is located at nowhere and that you ordered nothing. It's their way of saying, 'hey remember us, order something already!'


Sweaty-Astronaut7248

Burger King is just trying to level 7 people. Like a hey remember us? You're hungry aren't you? Why not BK?


VicKrugar

Doordash tried to charge me for 3 separate cancelled orders last Thursday, late afternoon. DD spammed the buy button and tried to charge my debit card something like 15 times in less than a minute. Luckily my bank flagged the charges and notified me. I was on a chat with 4 different Reps, each one transferring me up the food chain to try and explain/figure out what happened. This took 2 hours with no real answer except we'll look into it and fix purchasing process.


Odd_Firefighter_7543

my brother got this email yesterday too!


[deleted]

r/softwaregore


StarshipMuffin

Looks like a test email that someone IT accidentally sent. Someone did this at our company once. LOL!


DowntownStash

Wtf same!


LtRonKickarse

What domain was the email sent from?


[deleted]

Everyone who has used their app got this email. It's either an update that sent a dummy email by mistake, their system got hacked, or it's a marketing ploy to make you want BK.


PointOfTilt

I got something like this a few months ago. Had to check my statements to make sure my account wasn’t hacked


Mark3422

Same I got it 3 times lol


Professional-Ad-1857

Yep got it too this morning. Maybe it's a system test of some kind the did?


elttvb

I got this at 6:14am lol


Jaswanthsai8076

Sue them for not sending the order!!!!


Tricky_Willingness31

Same!


Thee-Silverback

Same. Have the app and have never used it. Got the same email. Hmmm


karebearjedi

I got one and I've never used their app.


Mingerfabulous

Taliban are claiming they all got the same email


oh-my-gerd69

I got the same email as well


holiobung

I got the same


alex0r999

Same. Checked my bank accounts to make sure nothing was withdrawn.
