Unsolicited email about blood meters

[Vicsetter]

Just had an email from 'Adroit Marketing Conultancy' addressed to me by name and to an email address I reserve for diabetes (lifescan, bayer, diabetesuk etc). Contents:

We are a market research company and have been commissioned by a European diagnostics company to review the blood glucose 'market place' in the UK. We would like to better understand why people with diabetes choose their blood glucose meter; and may or may not change meter from time to time.
The results of this short survey will enable the design of better products and services for people with diabetes.

Needless to say I told them where to go, but asked who their source was (I wont hold my breath on that one).

Anyone else had this one?

Nothing for me - is this one of those cases of 'approved third-parties' who might mail you when you register with a site and don't tick the box?

I get loads of similar things

 

[Monica]

Yes, I got that one today too. I've deleted it

Alan - I don't think so. I always make sure I tick/not tick whether I want "approved 3rd parties". I don't even want mail from 1st parties, lol

I got one too. Told them the opposite of what they wanted to hear

I got one to thought it was a bit odd

I'm starting to feel a bit left out! I wonder what you all have in common that I don't? Might help to pinpoint the origin of these emails 🙂

Just checked, I only use that with Accu-chek, Pulse, Menari,Bayer and onetouch. Changing them all to be unique (except Pulse) so will see If I get any new ones.

I'm registered with Accu-chek and Pulse, so it probably wasn't them since I didn't get the message 🙂

OneTouch must be the culprit then 😱 or Glucomen?

maybe if (like me) you have requested a new meter recently you get this E-Mail? I had one, put it in Spam folder so not looked at it.

Yes, you could be right. I ordered another Glucomen XL during the summer.
