Unnecessary and unwanted messages from TalkTalk

[DorsetRover]

I have been ‘in communication’ with TalkTalk – telephone, e-mail and via the Forum - since Wednesday 4th March 2020.

I have received no help whatsoever from TalkTalk.

On Thursday 12th March I received an e-mail from TalkTalk and I thought it might be a response to my request for help.

WRONG. It reads

Congratulations!

Thank you.

Hi @DorsetRover 

All members get Community emails / badges to stimulate more active engagement with Community. Don't worry though because it doesn't compromise the help that TalkTalk is giving you via Community following your post on Tuesday 10 March.

Don't worry either about your TalkTalk Mail because Gondola is helping you here and TalkTalk's OCE_Ady is helping you; your Community Personal Message will be picked up by TalkTalk's Community Team on Monday to add your mailboxes to your MyAccount.

Hi DorsetRover,

I'm sorry that you are unhappy with the message, this of course doesn't affect any support that you receive. There are no plans to stop this at the moment as there is a lot of evidence that this generally has a positive impact, but thanks for your feedback

Chris

Talking about support, why am I still receiving the following  message under 'Manage TalkTalk Mail', reported originally on 4th March?:

! You do not have an active TalkTalk Broadband or TalkTalk Mail Plus subscription, so you are no longer able to create or add new email accounts

By the way, I have just gone to 'My Account, logged in' and there is a message which states:

Never miss important updates form us!

We don’t think our emails are getting through to you. This means you could be missing out on important information about your account, billing and the things that matter to you.

Just tell us your email and we’ll enter you into a draw to win a home entertainment system worth £1000. It only takes a few seconds.

Is this a wind up?
