CoronaVirus promotions
OK, so no one's promoting the virus, but they're using CoronaVirus as a reason to send promotional texts and emails to tell us how wonderful they are. Today started with a text from EE stating (amongst other things) I can call 111 free of charge (wasn't that always the case?). Emails from my bank, my energy supplier and the post office (how did they get my name and email addy?) letting me know they are thinking of me in these difficult times
... and details of their current special offers. I wish they wouldn't. It doesn't make me feel any better.
Have you received any such uncharacteristic messages of late? And I don't mean spam, I'm quite sure they are who they say they are.

The PO never sent me an email before, and now they do, at this time, I find a little sneaky and creepy.
