Looks like they have great clothing, plus the woman on the home page is really cute. But I did want to warn people of a possible virus or just SPAM looking like it's from Athleta. My coworkers received the same thing but under their own name. Info is below:
I received a SPAM email to my work address Thanking me for shopping at Athleta and providing me an order number. Not sure if this is a virus or not so I'm taking any chances on clicking on anything. The email came from Athleta@emark14.embluejet.com and looks like this:

I just got hacked. There was an unauthorized transaction for $20 to a company called tornadocard.com. I know this isn't much, but paypal is linked to my checking account which has a lot of my valuable information. I was also on hold for at least 30 minutes with paypal customer service being bounced around to different departments, and they still couldn't give me a straight answer!
I expected more out of their security and the knowledge of their support reps. Chase bank now has a payment center similar to paypal, I'm going to start using that.
I check this site out daily for the latest information on men's style, grooming, and culture. Great stuff!
interesting choice of fonts for a men's site. i might send this to some men i know who need tips on grooming. is that subtle enough?
This is a pretty new site. It's similar to Groupon but its mainly for adventure and travel. I'm always looking for something new to do outdoors so this will help minimize the amount of searching I do.
Thanks, I think I might like this more than groupon. I am getting sick of their spam and zozi seems to have more of what I like to do. I don't need another coupon for $5 egg breakfast..
This is where I order my protein, I get the Isopure 7.5 lbs powder. I like it because they price match with other webistes, but lately when I press the button to process my order, it just goes to a blank page and my order doesn't go through. I tried 3 different times today. I hope this gets fixed soon...Until then, they only get a MEH.
Whenever I need to feel better about myself, I just check out this website. It makes me happy that I'm not them haha
I am a big super hero fanatic and this is where I go to get the latest news, gossip, reviews, clips, and so on about anything super hero. I've been following Iron Man 2, Transformers 3, the new X-Men and Spiderman movies on here. I love it!
This site is for pharmaceutical and medical sales professionals. If you're looking for a job in that field definitely go here. It has everything from job postings to message boards. I researched my past company here and found some pretty nasty stuff posted by previous employees on the message board.
The site itself doesn't look good but it has some great information.
Great find, I have a bunch of out of work pharm reps and will forward this site to them for job opportunities.
If you want a fast way to convert songs or files from a website, I've found this very useful. Typically I just copy and paste a link from youtube, and zamzar emails me the the converted link into an itunes file. It's pretty inconsistent on how fast they send out the emails though.
Whoa....what a find! thanks this is quite amazing. Free too. My ipod loves you :)
Glad I can help out!
Not only does this stuff look cool, it actually works! Right now I'm really into weight lifting, rock climbing, tennis, basketball, running, and volleyball and rocktape has really helped with speedy muscle recovery. My 68 year old step father also uses this for his lower back. It really has helped relieve soreness from golf, tennis, and old man driving.
Definitely try out some Rock Tape if you constantly feel muscle pains.
I've been on the market for a new/cheap/sturdy bicycle to ride in the city for transportation purposes. I consulted with my cousin, who is a professional cyclist, and he said that bikesdirect.com has unbelievable deals on any kind of bicycle you can think of. They may not all be name brand, but they are solid bikes. Definitely better than getting one at Wal-Mart or Target.
I'm now getting a mountain bike for $399 that's actually worth $899.
I highly recommend this site if you're looking to save some money on a great bicycle.
I am looking for a mountain bike for this summer time and I read your review. I saw on the website you have to built the bike yourself. Do you think that is easy to do? Thanks for help!
I guess it must depend on which bike you get because I didn't have to build a bike myself. All I had to do was pick my size and color which was a 17 inch black bike.
I didn't see an option to build your own bike, but I would assume it's really easy to do. My best advice is to know what size to get. I'm 5"8 and riding a 17 inch bike. I hope this is helpful!
I may have misunderstood your question. If you have to assemble the bike yourself, it might be pretty difficult. I would bring it in to a bike shop to have them do it for you.
Did you order your bike and if so did it arrive okay? I just read a review on here where someone ordered a bike and their frame broke from bike direct and now I am a little bit nervous about the site.
I actually cancelled my order. I'm trying to get a scooter now!

S B. Someone probably misspelled their email address when they placed an order. Sure doesn't sound like any type of spam that I have ever seen. Also, Athleta is a GAP brand and would likely not send out spam in the first place. This definitely does not warrant a one-star rating. Do you know a Dane at your workplace? Maybe he/she is wondering where his/her order confirmation is.
Daniel L. Thanks for your comment S B. My coworker received the exact same email but under her name, Jacquie. As for the 1 star, I'll change it if or when the problem is resolved.
S B. Wow, the plot thickens. This is quite interesting. Let us know what you come up with, I'm very curious. Either way, I'm sure if it is spam, it is not Athleta who is behind it, sending out fake order confirmation emails.
Please post when you figure it out.
Daniel L. I definitely will post. I guess I should say I have nothing against GAP brands, but I had no other way of expressing my frustration with the email that came with the Athleta name. I guess this was my way of warning others of anything that came from them.
S B. No problem. I guess using the Q&A for Athleta may be better than posting a review since you don't have to give a rating. Good job in bringing it to our attention though - it sure looks like an Athleta email to me, although it can be a very clever spam.
I have a lot against GAP brands (my wife spends WAY to much money on them. Thankfully she hasn't found Athleta yet!)
Daniel L. Good point, thanks for the heads up. I didn't think about the Q&A section!
T N. it looks like the situation resolved itself within the day since this is a 3 star rating now?
Daniel L. S B was right, giving Athleta 1 star was unfair. So despite the email that came out, I jumped on their website and thought it was great! My main goal was to warn others of a possible virus or just spam that came out in their name.
Bill K. I received the same email on the same day. I called customer service and they said they weren't sure what exactly happened but they are looking into it and to not worry about the order. Someone must have attacked the site - I have not received any further emails explaining the issue.
S B. Hey Daniel, maybe you were right for giving Athleta one star if they had a security breach!
Bill K. The saga continues - I received another email today about an order I never placed - it doesn't look like they have fixed their issue. The email came from a different address than the original I received a few days ago - Athleta.com [noreply-global@athleta.com]
Thanks for shopping at Athleta.com

I sent Athleta an email to have them remove me from their email database.
S B. Did anyone hear back from Athleta yet?
Bill K. I sent an email and they responded by saying they apologize for the inconvenience but the emails are not coming from them and they are trying to address the issue.
Alex B. Also received this email just now - from no-reply@athleta.com. Knew it was fishy after a second as sizes all wrong, no last four digits of card, address, etc, but for a second was a bit taken aback as had the right name for my email address and so on.
Julie P. There is something on the athleta site addressing the strange emails.
Alison S. Yep, I've got a similar email which appears to come from Shoplastyle.com which is a legitimate site, but the sender's email address is Shoplastyle@emark.embluejet.com. It's the same scam : it looks like an order has been placed by me on Shoplastyle, whereas I have never placed such an order.
Obviously the intention is that you'll reply to the email. Don't do it!
