Burger King sent blank email receipts to a bunch of people

Overnight, fast food chain Burger King sent blank email receipts to thousands of customers, including MobileSyrup staff reporter Brad Shankar, likely other Canadians and several U.S. residents.

The Verge’s Tom Warren tweeted about the blank receipt and wrote about the emails, noting there’s no clear indication that the emails were a result of some kind of breach or hack. Burger King also hasn’t yet responded to questions about the incident.

The emails started arriving around 12:15am ET, and several recipients said they don’t remember ever creating a Burger King account. Some even received multiple emails. Considering the emails came from Burger King’s main promotional email address, it’s entirely possible a small system change or error caused blank receipt emails to go out to the company’s marketing email list.

Regardless, those who received the Burger King email likely don’t have to worry about anything nefarious going on. Presumably, if someone hacked into Burger King and placed thousands of orders, the receipts would show what was purchased.

Still, it’s always a possibility that there could be a fast food-related scam going on here. It wouldn’t be the first time a MobileSyrup writer lost money over fast food company negligence.

Bradley Cooper has burger flipping lesson

Bradley Cooper is learning how to flip burgers.

The 36-year-old actor had a lesson at Burger King in Leicester Square, London, on Sunday night (07.27.14) to help him master ”the art of the flip” in preparation for his role as a chef in the upcoming film ‘Adam Jones.’

A source told The Sun newspaper: ”Bradley was training alongside genuine Burger King staff. The aim was to learn the art of the flip, which he nailed fairly quickly. There was no real fanfare from him. You’d never know he was a big star by the way he spoke to people. He spent Sunday night learning the skills while the restaurant was open to the public and then filmed for most of the day on Monday.”

However, it’s not just fast food chains that have been helping the hunky star – who is dating model Suki Waterhouse, 22 – perfect his culinary skills as he’s also been taking advise from celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay.

The ‘F Word’ star, 47, said previously: ”As well as giving Bradley a few top tips on cooking, I’ve taught him the most important thing he needs to know in order to get by in a kitchen – how to swear.”

‘Adam Jones’ – which is being directed by John Wells – also stars Uma Thurman, Sienna Miller and Emma Thompson, and will be filmed in London until September 26.

Heather Mills Signs Lucrative Contract

The former wife of Paul McCartney signed a contract with the fast food chain Burger King for $4.3 million.

Mills will be promoting the new vegetarian hamburger for the chain, which will be available at 11 350 Burger King restaurants around the world, according to Britain’s The People.

The former model was chosen because she gave $1 million to buy vegetarian hamburgers for underprivileged children in New York last year. "Heather is ecstatic. She believes she can change the eating habits of millions. She’s also being paid a lot of money and the deal will help boost her standing," revealed a source.
