Sorry if this is real but can not be too careful nowadays

I dont know if I recieved one of these (dont really look at my emails all that often) but inkbird are a forum sponser

It's not a scam. Inkbird is a forum sponsor (I think!) and sometimes has offers,promotions and competitions with their products.
I've got 3 inkbird 308 (!) plus the BBQ thermometer...all great products! They make temp control and monitoring a doddle!

 

[Mavroz]

I haven't had one.
A couple of things seem odd...
First, the English/Grammar seems to be written by someone possibly from Asia.
Second, they want money upfront and will then refund if you leave a review. Would Inkbird just donate one of these devices for review, they regularly run give away events.

This may be above board but as you say these days you cannot be too careful where money changes hands and personal details are involved.

Thats what alerted me Mavroz the grammar is poor and the money upfront. I know inkbird is a sponsor but the grammar seems poor and done by somebody who as not a good grasp of english

 

[Clint]

He is Chinese I think. I won three devices..all delivered and working no probs!

I think inkbird are based in Asia and tbh, whenever they do giveaways etc, the grammer on the posts is never brilliant. Not sure about the money up front though

 

[The Baron]

Hopefully Chippy can shed some light on it

 

[MyQul]

At the end of the day you can always PM inkbird or if I tag him into this thread he'll hopefully visit soon and answer for himself @Inkbird

Edit. Looking at his profile he was here this morning so I dont think it'll take him long for another visit

 

[Clint]

The gist of it is....you buy it on Amazon,his outlet,you test it and if you like it you give a favourable review. You can only give reviews from a verified purchase,you give favourable review,he gives you a refund ..you get free inky.
Like Beckham getting free underpants....

 

[The Baron]

Thanks Chaps lets hope its not a scam cos it sounds a good way to get a free one

 

[Clint]

To check...he should be on the forum user list....drop him a PM to confirm.
I have in the past received similar messages to test product I had no use for so declined. He responded politely.
Oops didn't see Myquls post!

This. They are one of the best sponsors on the forum. I won an Inkbird, and was sent a funky pair of light up specs as well!

Inkbird is a forum sponsor and if anyone wants to message him or read his previous offer threads or contact him they can find him in the sponsor forum.

Inkbird cannot mass message or email forum members so I assume he is choosing members he has had faverable dealings with in the past you have received an email as you have allowed it in your settings other members who have it disabled will only receive a private message here in the forum.
