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

damn.. sounds like a scam.. who would give one of those away for free..
what was the username of the user that sent the message?
-
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

User was CTEKoz
-
I have emailed cteck before and their reply and the dudes name was very swedish
Why not just get her to send you one?
-
Same person is on another forum and I understand it is legit.

Wheres the scam? My guess is its a legit offer. If your concerned get it sent to your work or a friend etc, I use a po box so dosnt concern me.
-
If its any help get her to send it to me. I will test it for a few years and make sure there is nothing wrong with it... I will gladly take one for the swagger team...
-
My concern is that in this day and age any Business giving something for nothing is very strange - where is the catch...
Maybe i will reply and up the ante - i will ask for a shirt or some stubbie coolers
-
It probably costs them a couple of $ and is good PR. I think it is a great idea.

No doubt about it Darren. Your Swagger resolve is unheralded... ;D
-
It's legit i got the same msg and had one sent to me a couple of months ago.
-
It worked we are all talking about it. Maybe we will all have one tomorrow
-
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.
-
I want to know if they're ever going to fix the little rubber plug that always falls out :)
-
CTEK are great products bla bla bla grovel grovel anything coming my way for free. :D :D :D
-
I've never heard of CTEK. Hmm.... CTEK,..........battery terminals..........CTEK.
There, that should do it. ;D
Cheers,

X2 (taking a deep breath) I also have a ctek dc dc charger!
-

X1
I to got the email.
Was a little dubious, but thought what the heck!
Have a PO Box and a few days later I received the connector.
For the cost of postage and a dollar for the product (cost price) a great PR for the company.
-
Have I mentioned that I have a CTek that I love...and I gave 2 swedish backpackers a lift the other day..onja and Offya
-
Ctek Ctek Ctek Ctek Ctec
See if that draws any attention. Anything for nadah is good.
-
it's only good PR if people know about it. if it comes across as a scam, well then.. great for anybody who has been offered this.
i hope you all get randomly selected ;D

Look at them all come crawling back now....... ;D
-
What are these worth?
-
Not being backward at coming forward I just messaged Emma and asked for one ;D
-
I think we should change the title of this thread, to 'not a scam'
-
I, on the other hand, do not have a ctek charger - what are they? and do they work well?
I also do not know why my batteries keep going flat? 8)

I was thinking along these lines. I've only got an old arlec charger, would a ctec be better?
:cheers: ;D :cheers: ;D

I dont have one, I only have a Projecta :( and need a Ctek urgently - I cant afford to pay for one as my dog needs root canal operation, and my budgie needs new feathers.
My postal addy is available by PM :)
-
It's legit i got the same msg and had one sent to me a couple of months ago.
Same here I received one as well, had no follow up hassels, looks OK to me I now have a spare connector for the cost of 1 email.

I have a ctek outside charging up the camper right now, great products and I always had great service from them when I was in retail and selling them, I always had people coming in and asking why their old Arlec wouldn't charge their new bike battery and it only got hot, my reply was " you need the snowflake" before selling them one. I will be buying a dc charger soon too.
-
CTEKoz joined 3/2/11 and I recieved a PM from Emma that same day with this same offer also but I declined because I had no need for one, I do not take things just because they are free if I do not require them, that way hopefully someone who is in real need may be lucky enough to score ;D
CTEKoz to date has nil posts but her offers are nevertheless very generous :cup:
-
.......... replied with the inlaws P.O Box in case it was suspect .......................
Excellent idea. Pity, I live 2000k's away from my my in laws. ;D

Hi all,
Excuse my absence on the forum for the last few weeks. I realise much has happened during this time and I’ve been reading this post with a lot of interest!
As most of you are aware, I work on behalf of CTEK in Australia in a PR capacity. The purpose of contacting members of the forum is to acknowledge CTEK’s loyal supporters and to thank them for their ongoing support.
I just wanted to clarify that this is completely legit and I understand that some of you may be uncomfortable with providing your postal address. If anyone has any queries please don’t hesitate to give me a call on 03 9863 7632. Look forward to speaking to all of you!
Cheers,
Emma

Welcome to myswag Emma, it's good to see a company proactive with their support.
-
Yeah welcome to My Swag Emma :cheers:
-
Good on CTEK.
Might have to send this on to the good people at Projecta and see if they value their customers :angel:
Edit: Heading updated

Nice will give Emma a call tomorrow as the little fella in my avatar took care of the battery clamps and ctek bag when I left the shed open a few months back.. If only only I had given him it at 9 weeks old like the koala Teddy bear that my 4year old gave him as it does not have any damage and he is like Maggie Simpson with it

Its good to see someone willing to do the rite thing without a catch to it...
a Big Welcome to the forum Emma :cup: in my books. :cheers:
-
welcome to the forum CTEKoz glad to see a company actively seeking out it customers, these chargers are a great piece of equipment saving many batteries lives.
-
Nice work Emma, great to see a company standing behind its products this way :cheers:
If my C/T wasn't kitted out, I'd definitely be taking you up on your offer.
In the meanwhile, I don't suppose you've got a mate who works at a brewery who would be interested in following Ctek's example, do you?
It's a long shot I know, but hey.... ;D

This may turn out to be a lesson for other businesses. Try and do something proactive and reward your customers quietly and the mob will call you a scam then plaster it across the forum for a week, then when they finally work out its not all tell you how good you are in the hope of something free. Good on you cteck, its a shame it went so badly for you.

Spot on darren.. Good post!!!
Maybe a lesson to be learned here for some members?
I' am sure they have no problem finding people to give free stuff to.

You get this alot in current world of internet. I don't think it's the best way to approach people from a business perspective, especially with no previous posts on the forum or an easy and visible attachment to the business being represented previously.
The OP asked if it was a scam, from all appearances, you would think so, until you dug further and saw there were others that have received and been involved in the process. This thread has helped to highlight the position of Emma and her relationship. I'm sure being a PR representative she can handle a little concern over the legitimacy of the offer in a public forum.
