Van55 Posted June 13, 2006 Author Posted June 13, 2006 I don't know who he is. A google search reveals that he has posted virtually the same message on a number of USA and other cigar boards. It appears that he has harvested some but not all of the email addresses on file at this site for his spam efforts. I doubt that Rob would approve. Shame!

anacostiakat Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I got it. Twice actually! :-( :-( Have no idea who he is.

habanohal Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I replied and he sent back. Looks like he is going to Cuba July 20th. He says he goes 2 times a year. What I dont get is the Mont A, Cohiba DC ELs', Cohiba Sublimes and on and on are all 200 Euros??? GO figure. A waist of human life and T%akeing up the oxygen that we all here so deserve
cf2112 Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 » Ok guys i've checked the setup of the forum and from what i can tell you » can't farm email addies because they're hidden. » » I've got my email addy on display and haven't received anything so my best » guess is this idiot is trolling the forum and targetting the big posters by » clicking on the email icon next to their posts and sending individual » messages. » » You don't need to be a member to do that and unfortunately there's no » setting to change it. It's not very efficient and the members here are » pretty educated, therefore unlikely to fall for his scam. » » The solution is to hide your email addy in your profile. To do that, » select your name at the top of the page. On the next page select "edit » user data" underneath your profile. There's a toggle in there for "show » your email address".

Thanks Jason. Hopefully this jack-off will get his

idesign Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 I got this idiots email as well. Went right to Lisa.....:-D
El Presidente Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 Keep Lisa out of the loop at this time. .....I think she may be in on it. They always attack from the inside. I am not paranoid...but someone close is out to get me
Ken Gargett Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 got it. told him to bugger off and sent it to rob. spanish address. note that he joined the forum yesterday so must be doing so just to flog his crap. i think that if he had bothered to read anything here he would have realised what a waste of time it was.

I got the same email. I think I saw this guy post over on VCC a few days ago. Not sure if he is the same guy.
connoiseur29 Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 no, but this guy ought to find another playground. I don't like people who waste our time.

Hell if you tell them you know me you'll probably get some great comps.;-) Also be careful "what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas" my wife came back pregnant. That trip is one I'll be paying for 18+ years, not that I'm complaining cause I love my wife and kids but damn expensive vacation.:wink:
