Cannot cancel membership

Nothing but spam

If you install this app, you will be constantly barraged by notifications from scammers who create accounts to post the same phishing scam to multiple meetups groups. As soon as you report them, their account will be deleted, but they will immediately create a new one. The app is nearly unusable due to the sheer volume of spam, and Meetup.com are either unable or unwilling to control it.
