How to disconnect SendHustle from your Gmail account

While I hate to encourage people to remove SendHustle from their Gmail accounts, there are rare but legitimate reasons you may want to.

Here’s one, for example…

Phishing Attack Victim?

Over the last week, several Gmail users have been victims of a sophisticated phishing attack where the scammer obtains the username and password for a Gmail account, logs in, installs SendHustle, then sends a mass email containing a form that looks like a Dropbox form to all the user’s contacts, and encourages the victim to log into Dropbox with his/her Gmail account credentials. Then, after obtaining more Gmail account credentials, the scammer logs into those accounts, installs SendHustle, and repeats the cycle.

If you are seeing mass emails sent from your Gmail account that you did not initiate, you may have unwittingly given your Gmail credentials to the scammer. To rectify this:

1. Change your username and password immediately.

2. To check if the scammer has connected SendHustle to your account, go to:

If SendHustle is listed here, and you are not a SendHustle user needing to send email campaigns, you can easily remove SendHustle.

Need to cancel a scheduled email marketing campaign?

If you are a legitimate SendHustle user and only wish to cancel a scheduled email marketing campaign but intend to use SendHustle later, then you do not need to remove SendHustle from your account to prevent the email from sending. Follow these instructions instead to cancel a scheduled emailing.
