I've never bought anything from Pink Spot but was considering it after reading about their swagger juice.
I was on the site today looking at the juice, prices etc. and signed up for the newsletter and almost immediately got the scam email.
I occasionally get scam emails trying to get me to click links for fake banks, fake PayPal, you name it! sigh

Break the link. Wouldn't want anyone to accidentally click on it. To break the link, put spaces in the link.
Yes, me too... the 2nd one was an "update" to the first one. I forwarded it to ejuice @ pinkspotvapor. com and asked if I should unsubscribe from their newsletter to stop getting the phishing email.
I didn't get a response but then I didn't expect one lol.

I didn't get the email. Pretty upset because I really want a 30 oz bottle of juice for free. Just my luck though, first I still haven't heard back from that nice gentleman in Africa who works for the embassy and had me send him money to verify my account so he could send a large sum of money to me and now I am left out of this deal.
I received the email today. I have bought from Pink Spot in the past. I'm curious if their client database was hacked? (I saw the question asked earlier). If so, is any other personal information at risk?
That is a good question to ask of Pink Spot. I would think they would gladly answer you so you could
#1: put your mind to rest
or
#2: take steps to monitor / protect your financial info
What if it was Pink Spot pretending to be a scammer pretending to be Pink Spot?
I'm not kidding. Who else would have their email database? Why target a small e juice vendor?
Did they mass email all their customers warning of this, or just put the announcement on their site (CYA/plausible deniability)?

I emailed them earlier with no response, I included a copy of both emails I recieved also
That was my concern when I first read it. I explained earlier that I narrowly escaped something similar thanks to my bank but while the company was reputable, one of its employees was a crook and got my personal info and used it to make a $5000.00 purchase on the net. The employee was part of a ring of thieves. So, while Pink Spot owners might be honest, it only takes one bad employee with access to the files... in this case probably email. Even the largest companies have had employees get customer info. Employees are more of a problem than outside hackers are. That's why I said I would get to the bottom of it and move on to another vendor if I couldn't.
Obviously whoever hacked their list of customers do NOT have the financial info or there would be no need to fish for it. If you have a vendor that you have to enter your credit card number each time you order, they do not keep that info stored. That protects you and them. The credit card is being processed by a third party secure site.
From what I understand and the timing of the warning on their site, they were unaware of what happened until it was brought to their attention by someone that received the fishy email. Since the email in question mentioned the owners by name (pretending to be them) I would say it was someone within their ranks that attempted to pull this off. Might even be a disgruntled ex-employee. Who knows for sure? Stuff like this happens all the time with businesses, it just so happens that this might be the first time in this particular community.
I wouldn't stop using a vendor just because someone got their customer list, I would stop using a small company where my credit card info was stored and I didn't have to re-enter the info all the time.
Pink Spot replied with the answer that their email service provider, which is a site service to manage newsletters, got hacked.
This is also a good possibility
Don't give up on Pink Spot! Amazing juices. Just keep tabs on the ECF thread for PSV for all coupons and offers
it will take a pretty decent coupon to recoup from the losses of customers and trust that this scam email caused. sad how hackers can cause damage to a reputable and beloved company
id place an order if they offered a crazy good coupon/discount tho
