Moves/Facebook lied

This morning I read a news article saying Facebook had just bought Moves. Being a registered Moves user, I deleted my account because I'm not comfortable with Facebook having access to my location data.

In a mail they sent me, they assured me they had deleted my data and that my email address would also be deleted right after sending the mail.

48 minutes later I got a mail from them. http://imgur.com/a/icHil

Previously I've seen unsubscribe emails that state you will have no more emails after those already 'commissioned' have been sent. If they used a 3rd party service for sending out mass emails like that, they may provide the users in advance and have no ability to remove them last minute. This purely speculation at a possible cause on my part though.

There is no mention of it in the deletion mail and both mails came from Amazon SES servers.
