Thank you for taking the time to fill out a bic lighter request.
You should receive your lighter by mail soon.

By Choochoojr: This might possibly be nothing more than spam/harvesting, so tread cautiously on this

bic candle lighter

The site is very busy, so keep trying and be persistent and I guarantee you will get through.
 
I think the server is just getting a lot of hits. You can try to refresh the page.
 
Great i cant wait to get this.... :wave:

Server was pretty busy but I finally got in.. Thanks OP!
 
Is this actually sponsored by Bic Corp.? The website was only created last week and I find nothing on the bicworld.com website about this promo?

This seems a little suspicious to me, but I cannot get through to see for myself. :doh:

Exactly what I was thinking. The website is not showing as being owned by Bic either when doing a whois search. :convinced:

The site is owned by bic and how can someone who hasn't even gotten into the site slander the post.

This is the bottom of the website form, showing it's owned by BIC USA, which when clicked on brings you to their website.

As I stated to you in the PM you sent me. Something does not look right about this, so I added the disclaimer so people would know. I could have deleted it all together, but elected to leave it and let others decide whether to do procede or not. :doh:

Why is it that there is no mention of this website anywhere. I searched google, yahoo, and dogpile. :convinced:
 
bic promo

Get into the website and if you are right I will eat my words. lol
It just irked me that you hadn't even gotten in yet and had seemed to already have made your mind up.
I understand you are doing your job as a moderator and do apologize as I didn't realize that is what you were.
I hope I get a lighter after all this. lol:o
 
No page ever opens for me. When I hit the link all I get is "Page cannot be found", so I can't tell if it's legit or not.

I'm going to have to go with Choo on this one. Anyone can create a Web site and make a link that points somewhere else. The ONLY working links on the page are to BicWorld.com and FlickYourBic.com. Everything else is just junk.

BicWorld.com and FlickYourBic.com are both registered to:
BIC Corporation
500 BIC Drive
Milford, CT 06460

Whereas this site is registered to some private service. I'm removing the link.
 
I just wanted to say thanks to Choo and the rest of the moderators for letting us know when something seems fishy. I work on a computer all day but have no clue if something is posted by a spam harvester, thanks for being a "big brother". The last thing I need is more spam emails.
:shakehands:
 
I Am Eating My Words!

I am new to postings and do apologize for not being to knowledgeable about the subject. :doh:
I wrote Bic and this is there reply:

Dear Ms. Herrick:

Thank you for contacting us regarding the offer for a free BIC(r)
Luminere(r) Candle Lighter that was advertised on a website called
"biclighterpromo.com".

This website is not an official BIC website and was never authorized by
BIC USA Inc. We are working to have this unauthorized website taken
down.

In order to help us in our investigation, can you please tell us how you
heard or found out about this website.

We are sorry, but we are not offering any free samples at the present
time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Sincerely,
BIC Consumer Affairs
