How do I stop getting emails from a dating service I did not sign up for?

Check the bottom of the emails for an "unsubscribe" option. Almost all emails have this option. If one does not exist, block it as "spam".

Question
How long is a deleted account still visible?
Community Answer
Depending on the search engine you're using (e.g., Google), your username and account information may show up in an archived format for around two weeks after the deletion. If you notice that your account is still showing up after that point, you should contact OKCupid and/or Google to see if you can expedite the page removal.
