Below is a small sampling of some of the contest list spam we consistently receive. List spam is where an entrant attempts to increase their odds of winning by joining over and over again using throw-away email addresses. We receive an alert for each new contest entry as soon as their name and email address is added to the drawing database. Our system will flag and and then automatically lock the name and email address (and all variations, please see below) of an offending list spammer within the database to prevent a contest re-entry. On occasion the software will lock out a perfectly valid name and email address because of similarities to a flagged email address, we apologize in these cases and are working to tune the software to avoid this.

 
 

If by chance you're name and email is flagged, you might see an error screen like this:

 
    If you'd like to increase your chances of winning our contest by using your secondary or alternate email address, that's fine and our software will allow that. If however you decide to spam the database your entry will be flagged. It will then be automatically locked from a re-entry.  
     
  How to fix it  Unsubscribe (bottom of any email from us) and then go back to the Zippo home page and re-subscribe. This will clear your old name and email address and any associations immediately and then line you up for the next drawing, you're all set - easy!

  We just can't imagine all the time spent by the people above creating all the additional email addresses, entering everything into the contest form and finally confirming each entry via email only to have their name and email address locked out of the contest automatically.

Sincerely,

Your Zippo Free Team
