myswag member that works for CTEK .. NOT a scam
« on: May 04, 2011, 08:00:10 PM »
Got this message today.

Has anyone else has one? seems a bit sus to me....

Hi tagman,


My name is Emma and I work on behalf of CTEK. I saw your post and it’s great to read that you’re  enjoying your CTEK product.

If you’re interested in receiving a free CTEK Comfort Connect, DM me your name and mailing address and I will send one out to you.

The Comfort Connect allows you to more easily connect your battery to your charger so there is no need to hassle with battery clamps.

Thanks again for your support.
Emma

No idea but I would not mind another lug ended comfort connect to use on my battery if they aregiving them away.  Maybe ring CTEK Australia if there is such a beast and ask for Emma?

Sounds a little suspect, has the sender got a bit of history with the Forum or are they new? Maybe get the mods onto the case

My concern is that in this day and age any Business giving something for nothing is very strange - where is the catch...

It probably costs them a couple of $ and is good PR. I think it is a great idea.

The only scam would be if this person didn't have such an obvious connection with Ctec (username is pretty obvious) and continually plugs the Ctek brand in threads or bombarded posts with plugs for their products.

It's good when businesses are open about their affiliation or involvement with products, and are also willing to give advice about products without plugging their own brands blatantly.

I'm a firm believer that businesses involved on the forum, should have some mention of the fact in their signature, or as in this case an obvious reference to the products involved in their user name.
