Has anyone started to receive safecig ads in the mail?

[Siciliansith]

I have never bought from a mall store, and only have bought from four suppliers on this forum.

But my name is on a mailing list for a commercial crap ecig.

I trust the guys i bought from but suprised by the mailers.

Anyone else getting the safecig mailers and who gave out my info Thanks

Have you ever posted your email on ECF for everyone to see? If not, I have no clue. I haven't received anything from any of those crap ecig companies but when I do, they will get a piece of my mind.

Never got anything like that myself. Couldn't you just contact the company and ask to be removed from their mailing list?

Siciliansith sir are these emails or real mail?

I have received these e cig ads also, about one or two a week for about three weeks now. They are filtered into my spam folder where they belong.

Thanks for the feedback. Ive never posted my email or home address on here. All my ecig info is from this forum and others. Ive never requested info or filled out questioners etc. from anyplace. just odd imo


This was a direct mailer to the house and a nice one too. Says "the safecig, the company that introduced Electronic cigarettes to America". lol

I have no problem with a company advertising just trying to figure out who gave my address out (i do have an idea, but i could be wrong) Just trying to narrow it down. Im gonna contact the company.

Thanks

PS I guess its possible that have my info from a cigarette company and the looking to convert people , but that seems unlikely.

Siciliansith sir sounds like a case where a company sold your address... Hopefully you can figure out who it was....

Unfortunately technology the way that it is means that these companies can get your email address by simply clicking on a site to visit it. So if you have ever been to a site that sells the cheap garbage, they likely have technology that looks at your computer and pulls your email address into their advertising database. Very common unfortunately.

...technology that looks at your computer and pulls your email address into their advertising database. Very common unfortunately.

It used to be even more common before so many people began using webmail and not setting up their browsers with information like email addresses. You could fix it so when you click on an email link, and a desktop email program would open up!

Now I think some of them will go to google, or whatever, and log you in - IF you fill in your login and pass!

Some of them used to even have a place for people to put their real names!

If you're not sure that your browser configuration is 100% email address free, seize a nerd and have them take a look - and if needed, make some changes so that any and all information that can be gotten from your browser is a good fit with your individual privacy and security preferences!

The only problem is it's the mailing address. That leaves one of three ways really for them to get it, either they have it on file from an order, bought it from another company you ordered from, or used some sort of malware to get it from your computer when you ordered something from somewhere....

Yep!!!!!!!!!
