Got the same one yesterday. Marked it as spam, then deleted.

Re: Suspicious email
 

I got this, too. :td

Re: Suspicious email
 

I got it too.

I thought the last vitola was funny. Rolled by masters. I guess they're called Master Batey's. :r

Re: Suspicious email
 

Got it too:tf

Re: Suspicious email
 

I got it too. Maybe one of the internet cigar retailers sold our information, or were hacked.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Actually, I think I have a good idea of where it came from. Can't post it on open forum though.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Same here. Wonder who we all did business with, or what we might have once signed up for...

Re: Suspicious email
 

If you signed up for emails from a certain, now defunct vendor you got this one too.

You may have gotten 1001 emails from them in the past.

Re: Suspicious email
 

I didn't get it but the grammar is atrocious and is usually the first tell tale sign if a scam.

Re: Suspicious email
 

I'm picking up what you're laying down.

Anytime someone you don't know is asking for business or personal information assume it's a scam.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Bingo!

Re: Suspicious email
 

Thanks. That explains why I also got this email yesterday!

Re: Suspicious email
 

I hate Scamers. Thank god someone just notified me about a rich uncle who I never knew but left all his millions for me to spend... :tu

Re: Suspicious email
 

I got it as well. Just deleted it and moved on!!!!

Re: Suspicious email
 

Winner!
:rd

Re: Suspicious email
 

every cigar company and their mother has been e-mailing me lately and I haven't signed up for any of their lists I chalked it up to caputo selling my info since I belonged to Club Stogie.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Yup, spam and deleted also.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Got it as well- scanned the attachment that was virus free- and did have a list of smokes for sale- nothing interesting, really. Certainly no ccs listed thereupon.

Re: Suspicious email
 

You guys received an e-mail. I received an e-mail AND a phone call from them.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Must have been a good customer...:D


It's not spam guys, it's what NCRadioMan said. :ss

Re: Suspicious email
 

Got it... deleted it!!

Re: Suspicious email
 

You mean I wasn't supposed to buy these.
AHHH CRAP!! :gary

I think that email was legit.
I found these cigars here in Canada for just 29.99 CAD for a bundle of 10.
The smell is very nice, i havnt tried yet, but i feel bad for these guys since its
impossible to buy decent cigars in Canada for just 3 dollar. Its about 2.5 X price for the same cigar in the States for us.

Re: Suspicious email
 

yeah get rid of that spam. I delete almost ever email from people i dont know. just to risky.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Well just delete it :)

Re: Suspicious email
 

I generally only smoke Cuban cigars, however, I was recently introduced to the Batey brand and must admit I was more than pleasantly surprised, this is a very very good cigar and I highly recommend you try one.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Any chance you are affiliated with them?

Re: Suspicious email
 

Very interesting first post seeing that you just joined our community.

Why not take a few moments to introduce yourself in the New Inmates forum. Give us a chance to get to know you better.

Re: Suspicious email
 

I, like Peter:
*Reads post*
*Looks at Post count*
*Looks at Start Date*

Re: Suspicious email
 

this one is the same Peter

Re: Suspicious email
 

the same what?

both endorse the product and both are new?

Re: Suspicious email
 

the "new members" aren't even people just spammers on the forum...

Re: Suspicious email
 

You've determined this how?

They could very well be affiliated with the manufacturer or a B&M. You could be right but I will wait and see.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Alot of times if you Google a cigar a thread on a forum is the first info to come up. If the Googler doesn't bother to read the forum rules and whatnot he can end up signing up and posting a reply without having done any kind of introduction.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Good point.

We have members here who haven't bothered to read our rules.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Wait a gosh dern second......we have rules?!? :D

Re: Suspicious email
 

Wow, sorry, I didn't realize I'd stepped into exclusive territory. I was simply attempting to share what I know about Batey cigars, and no I don't work for them nor am I affiliated with them in any way. My name is Lee Mason and I am the National Director of The Young Warriors Network, if you want to know what I do visit my website www.youngwarriors.net and then maybe you won't make an ill informed remark that as a new person I must be a spammer or affiliated with the company. I am a cigar smoker, have been one for many many years, being a Canadian I also travel to Havana regularly to stock up, I have some very good rollers there. We also have a private cigar club here in Vancouver, none of our members are snobs. And BTW I didn't see any RULES when I signed up.

Re: Suspicious email
 

We have one rule at our cigar club, be happy and enjoy your cigars. We also share our knowledge about new products available.

Re: Suspicious email
 

I'm not going to speak for others but it is easy to understand that when a new member comes in and with their first post seems to promote a cigar in a thread entitled "Suspicious email" that those conclusions might be drawn.

As for our rules, did you look around for them? They are fairly prominently displayed as an Announcement in each of our sub-forums.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Re: Suspicious email
 

I was simply attempting to share what I know about Batey cigars, I just discovered them and sharing knowledge among other smokers I don't believe is promoting, rather showing the (suspicious email) is a legit company and the cigars are actually pretty good. Of course I shared it in the best interests of other cigar smokers and I believed the forum was the place where I could share that information. Obviously this is not an open forum, some of you seem to have bad attitudes toward new members, like we gotta toe an imaginary line and live by some rule that obviously even other members question until we win your approval. I have no time for childish games and I'm certainly not going to ask permission to post something that is in the best interests of all members.

Re: Suspicious email
 

C ya. :banger

Re: Suspicious email
 

Peter, perhaps you could point out the rules and why would I look for them if I wasn't instructed to do when I signed up?

Re: Suspicious email
 

This forum is quite open. And frankly, Your attitude comes across as pompous and arrogant. You are a stranger to everyone here. Take some time here and your opinion just might change. Trust and respect is earned - not granted.

Re: Suspicious email
 

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/announcement.php?f=5

This is posted in every sub-forum.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Actually no thanks, not interested in being a part of a forum where my knowledge and sharing is taken out of context and I'm viewed as pompous and arrogant, no loss to me to walk away from this forum, rather, the loss is to the members, and this isn't said in a pompous or arrogant manner, I have a wealth of cigar knowledge to share, great connections and great rollers in Havana and other parts of Cuba but I don't want to be a part of a finger wagging old boys club. No further posts to follow goodbye.

Re: Suspicious email
 

Wow. No pomposity or arrogance in that post. :rolleyes:

Should we bow and genuflect now?

Re: Suspicious email
 

and this isn't said in red text.

Seriously though maybe we have different definitions of pompous and/or arrogant?

Re: Suspicious email
 

As do I, maybe I need a sacasm font. In fact I can think of 1001 reasons for a sarcasm font. Maybe as a noob you should look at my sign on date before you think I haven't paid attention to a thread

OP, if you are affiliated, tell Jaime I said hi
