Transvision bluespamming my handsets in Euston Station

I can’t work out if it’s spam or not. Every time I walk through Euston Station, I get a message on my handset asking if I’d like to receive a bluetooth message from Transvision.

Since I’ve got my bluetooth switched on (I normally leave it on all the time for simplicity), does that mean that, theoretically — tacitly — I’m open to receiving an enquiry as to whether I’d like to receive a video from Transvision?

Yes. No. Depends on your viewpoint.

It’s pretty neat. If you’re standing, bored out your head on the concourse waiting for your 2-hour delayed train, any interaction is probably welcome, however brief.

But to me, a frequent Euston Station visitor, it’s getting a weeee bit annoying. More recently I’m coming out of the station, flicking open my handset and finding a bluetooth message from minutes ago.

Has anyone else experienced this? What’s your view?
