Cigar Weekly

I received a spam type email from this person that is very strange. When someone says they don't want to come off as creepy, it is creepy and off putting. Plus no link to an actual website. Anyone else get this?

"Hey there!

My name is Scott. You probably don’t know me, and I don’t want to come across as creepy, but hang in there with me for a moment, and I will explain the reason for my email.

I own Daily Cigar Deals, which aggregates the best cigar deals from 50 different retailers, so cigar lovers can find the best deal to save money on their cigar purchases.

I recently ran a contest online, and asked current fans to recommend people they know who loves cigars, and would benefit from Daily Cigar Deals.

That’s how I got your email

Before I did anything, I wanted to personally email you and make sure you smoked cigars, and if you were interested in Daily Cigar Deals.

The*last*thing I want is to*not*be welcome in your inbox. If you like cigars, and want to save money, then I can help.

So…

If this sounds like something that won't benefit you, you can*Click HERE*and you won't receive another email from me.

The last thing I want is to not to be welcome in your inbox. If that is the case, I’m sorry, and you won’t hear from me again.

Any questions, reply to this email and I will get back to you ASAP.

Keep Er’ Lit,
Scott (Shooter)"

I'm not on facebook and IMO this guy is not legit, nothing more than a spammer mining people's emails without permission.

What's the T place?

TommyBB · 03-31-2018, 07:08 AM

Thompson Cigar Company.

I get the reference, but I must be in the minority when it comes to Thompson's. I've got some really great deals there occasionally over the years and have never had the email or regular mail spam problem a lot of others have reported.
