Unwanted Newsletter

Anyone else start receiving the puff.com newsletter without ever asking for it? It seems the owner chose to arbitrarily start sending it to anyone he chose to. I asked why and did not get a reply. :mad:

Rest assured that here at Cigar Asylum your email address will not be used for unwanted and useless mailings.

Same here. I promptly unsubscribed from all future mailings. Actually hated to go there to even do that. Made me feel unclean.

Re: Unwanted Newsletter

I didn't get it, but I may know why.

Back in October, I switched my profile to be a 15 y.o., among other things, just to see if he was paying attention. I also tried to delete the "optional email address" which it wouldn't let me do, but I did change it to an invalid one. I can't log on and use the forums until I fix the email, but I'm not planning to log on and he has an invalid email for me.

Not that I'm suggesting anything...

There is supposed to be a way to unsubscribe at the bottom of the email but there's no link to use. No cheers for unsolicited emails.

I unsubscribed.... it's been a long time since I've been there... there's shampoo videos playing and all sorts of advertising chaos.

Seems pretty crappy to spam people, but I'm not surprised.

Unreal. Who knows what else he's using the email addys for. I wouldn't be surprised if they're used for marketing for his sponsors.

Re: Unwanted Newsletter

I got birthday greetings yesterday from Puffy!

Here's the email exchange that transpired ... Puffs comments are in red

I try to keep things above board in correspondence like this, but notice how the issue of my account status is never addressed.

Please remove me from your mailing list. It's bad enough that I very
politely asked for my account to be removed last year only to find out you
simply scrambled my password. I do not wish to have further
communication from Puff.com.

Thank you,

I would have logged into the account, but I thought the account had been
deleted as I requested last October. What in fact happened was that I
was left as a member but someone simply changed my password.

The account user name is massphatness

Thank you for your consideration.

OK I think I caught all of your preferences and turned them off.

You -may- receive a Puff newsletter. If you do I apologise, simply hit
UNSUBSCRIBE at the bottom of the newsletter and that will take care of it.

Unfortunately folks, it appears we former gorillas will always be a part of the Puff family.

Oh, and then the newsletter showed up today ...
