A tech founder has called out what he described as the 'worst cold email' he had ever received, featuring a highly aggressive subject line: 'Your family is going to die.'
The email, once opened, reveals itself to be a sales pitch for an AI tool, sparking a serious discussion about the ethics of automated sales outreach and the fine line between standing out in an inbox and digital harassment.
The subject line of the email reads: ‘Your family is going to die…’ followed by a sales pitch offering 50% off for new users of the AI tool.
Users on social media have condemned the email as outrageous and unacceptable, with some suggesting that the sender had no business emailing the recipient.
The post has sparked a wave of social media backlash, with many users sharing their own experiences with similar 'cold emails'.
