pcbrook Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I received 15 contact inquiries through my website yesterday all asking me to send free samples to them to Russia. Weird! It's like a bunch of them all got together and decided to gang up on me! lolI did have it on my site that I offer free fragrance blotters if you wanted to sniff before you buy but I never intended to send free candle samples of all my scents to one person. Especially not to 15 people in Russia! I have changed that since I received all these emails asking for free candles and I hope I have explained it better on the site. If they want to sniff before they buy they can get free blotter sniffies for the price of postage.Now I am wondering if I should even respond to these people. Or even how to respond. I am assuming they are just scammers trying to get something for free. I hate feeling that way about people but come on! 15 in one day??????

pcbrook Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 SPAM! Thank you! That is the word I was trying to think of but just kept thinking scam. OMG! Think I need some more caffeine. I am thinking I am just going to ignore them and delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Nope, don't respond. Delete. Let 'em think you had an inactive email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candybee Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 A bit off topic but here's what I would do about the free stuff. I send out a free sample with every purchase on my website. That way I pick and choose what I want to send. You could advertise the free sample with every purchase on your website and promotional literature if you want.
