I need website revenge

[ScottyUSN]

I've submitted a few ordered thru Thompson Cigar online. Recently they have been calling me and emailing me daily.

Numerous requests to be removed from call and email lists with acknowledgement ultimately go ignored. Not that I should have to, but I've added the numbers to the block lists and website to the spam list.

Any recommendations to become equally the pain in the *** for them that they have for me?

second, if it were me, I'd remind myself that the behavior you're experiencing is very typical of web companies now a days. Companies go to extremes to sell their products. Hell you can't turn on the TV without being bombarded by commercials. PBS is about the only one that doesn't do that, except of course when they have a telethon fund raiser :dribble:

third, you've already made it so you don't have to deal with their "excessive" desire to get people to buy their stuff. I'd simply leave it at that or use the WHO IS info and call them or write them a letter. Of course it won't do any good, but you could tell them your experience and that you're going to report them to the better business bureau. I believe they are suppose to be, in good faith, removing email address' (phone numbers) that they've had requests for.

good luck with it. Pretty sad it's so common now a days.

Thanks for the info. The emails are common place, it's the 5 times a week calls to my cell that have my blood boiling.

I will add some of the data you good folks have provided to give them one last chance to cease and desist before making them my new hobby.

Sorry you have to go through this... keep in mind companies are required to Update their Do Not Call List I believe it is Once a month.

Perhaps they have not hit their cycle yet to update their records.

Good Luck with this.

Email them and claim smoking their cigars has given you lung cancer and you're getting ready to sue. :angry2:

 

[Zorlac]

Tell them that after you do the infomercial with Monica Lewinsky you'll be mailing back all product used during the shoot. :dribble:

ScottyUSN, have Bustanut joker put them on his mailing list, that will soon send them running to the hills for cover!

Oh man... That is pure evil! I had a customer that fired a guy and then was signed up for the sickest sites... Very messy.

welcome to the wonderless spider trap called Thompson. over priced and won't quit spamming you (and selling your address to others).

better to use JR's

https://www.jrcigars.com/jr/index.cfm

or maybe even cigars.com

https://www.cigar.com/index.asp

claim smoking their cigars has given you lung cancer

unlikely since you don't inhale cigars.

Once long, long ago I had friend who had a bad experience with a moron who was trying to sell something online, using a forum similar to ours, only to find out it was a complete scam.

My friend had his home address, so decided to sign him up for a couple hundred new magazine subscriptions. Some of them dealt with alternative lifestyles and may have been quite embarrasing (or who knows, may have inadvertently helped him find his true identity).

I do not endorse nor recommend this course of action.

Thompson puts their ads in the back of all kinds of magazines that have nothing to do with cigars. At the same time, they seldom place ads in cigar mags. There's a reason for that.
