thefastone Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Remember a while back, quite a few of us got spam from some company selling dash boards or something like that... Well I just got another spam email, from "Prolong Super Lubricants" from some spam list... but it was going on about Scooby Clinic and their sucsess in time attack.... I'm guessing that its come from here.... But ive never used scooby clinic... I'm guessing that they are fishing the msn contacts again... Anyone else getting this...? Edited September 10, 2008 by thefastone

RA Dunk Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) yup just checked ive got it as well Battling in the hotly contested ‘Time Attack’ Championship, front running ‘Club Challenge’ team, Scoobyclinic and their driver, Kev Horsley have relied on Prolong all year to keep them at the top of the leader board. Now with just one round to go, and an insurmountable lead, the Chesterfield based outfit look set to take the 2008 title home with their impressive 2.3 litre Sti Impreza. Crew Chief and Scoobyclinic M.D, Kev Knight was quick to praise the properties of Prolong. ‘Our ethos at Scoobyclinic is as much geared to reliability and driveability as it is towards outright power. Whether it’s a road car build - or one of race engines, we engineer for maximum performance, but always tempered with an eye on real-world use. Prolong is an essential part of our engine building process and one of the reasons that we’ve enjoyed exemplary reliability‘. Prolong’s UK operation actually formulated a special specification of oil for Scoobyclinic, specifically designed to cope with the demands of the hard-punching boxer motor. So far. the results seem to be speaking for themselves. Allied to this, Prolong are the only oil manufacturer in the UK that offers a lifetime engine warranty to any road-driver that uses the lubricant in their car. Talk about putting your money where your mouth is! For more details on Prolong and its unique lifetime warranty, click here or call the team on 01628 828473.

emoe Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Yep i got it too, both my personal email and my work one too so i dont think its anything to do with SIDC. Probably just a mass blanket emailer
st3ph3n Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Not had anything myself but cleared my junk mail out this morning and might have taken that one with it.
scooby222 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 nowt in my mail, but when i saw the name 'prolong super lubricants' i thought it was one of dales 'special' companies contacting him
col666 Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Did this email have any pics in it? I was contacted by Prolong last week about supplying pictures from the Knockhill round of the time attack for a feature they were doing for the SIDC mag. I thought it was a wind-up as I am having copyright issues with another time attack competitor at the moment.
oobster Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Dunno Col, I got the email in my hotmail account but deleted it without looking at it.
RA Dunk Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Did this email have any pics in it? well there was spaces in the email where there was supposed to be pictures, but the spaces were blank
Dougie C Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I also got this email but I think it went to my BT Account. I didnt take any notice of it as I havent dealt with them in the past, I just deleted the email. Dougie C
andy Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I can confirm this has absolutely nothing to do with the SIDC. We WOULD NOT pass your details on to anyone unless they have a court order requiring us to do so (never happened yet and hope it never does) I can also assure you it has nothing to do with the McRae Gathering, which many of you also registered your details with. Apart from the fact I personally detest spammers with a passion and would not allow any member's details to be passed to any third party, we have obligations under the Data Protection Act to ensure your privacy and we absolutely abide by them. If you post your email address on the Forums then yes, it's going to be harvested (which is why I deleted the MSN Contact topic) and we can't stop that, but that is your risk. Your personal details registered "behind the scenes" remain secure and confidential. Andy SIDC Administrator.
RA Dunk Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I didn't get the email ! lol they know better than spam you though
