Received an email from the Health Lottery (was a member YEARS ago) telling me it was my birthday & here's a free entry into the draw.
Was suspicious, so logged in via Google & yes the code was legit, HOWEVER, you had to set up a DD (presumable for your win).
Next day received an email telling me that I'd signed up for 6 months of weekly draws, which certainly wasn't explained in the initial email so be warned!
Will cancel the DD as soon as they appear on bank account as I object to this forced marketing.
How does anyone else feel?
