A screenshot of my Android notification centre, showing an unsolicited WhatsApp message from Amazon, advertising their Black Friday deals. I checked and it is very much legitimate.

I had one of these marketing messages from Amazon this morning. I've never contacted them through WhatsApp, and as far as I can remember, have never contacted them outside of their apps. I definitely haven't contacted them with my phone number.

They have my phone number, but it's supposed to be for delivery issues, and I've withdrawn all advertising and marketing consent.

EDIT: I just checked, and I was automatically opted in to WhatsApp marketing, despite having turned off all other marketing 😤
