Sending mails like these.

Hello trucktrial,
I came across one of your post in the --- thread. And the pictures you posted were outstanding. It caught mine and a couple of the guys back here at ACME headquarters attention. My name is --- , One of my primary jobs working with our ACME marketing team is helping push ACME video and photo content for all our social media outlets. I was curious if you would be interested in supplying us with more of those amazing photos and possibly a video if we were to send you a vehicle and some support equipment? You can email me back at the listed address below for further details. We hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks

We would like to send you a --- and ---es edition to capture similar images like the ones you have on ---.com. We want to use these pictures to publish on our social media feeds and ACME.com. If you were to be interested in doing something like this for us, I will work something out here to get a shipment of products, parts and batteries headed your way, free of charge. All we ask in return is that you capture more beautiful, amazing photos with the products I send you.

We are going to go ahead and get a --- with some spare parts, batteries and a charger headed your way. I will send you tracking as soon as it leaves our warehouse. So we are super excited to see more images similar to the ones you have posted. Myself and the ACME team want to thank you for helping us out with this project. Can’t wait to see what you get.
Thanks again

The offering has been put on hold until further notice. Sorry for all the confusion.

###############
Since these mails, there has not been further agreement/ disagreement or subsequent negotiation that has prevented total completion or cancellation of its offer

What do you think about it?

Trading stuff is good. I'd gladly trade pictures for RC parts.

I thought this was a how to thread, teaching how to actually kill Rc enthusiasts.

Lame

Carry on.

There was a vehicle company named that too, about on the same level with Smartech and Exceed...........JUNK

Come on guys, I leave you to guess the brand im talking about, I thought the same -scam- but after posting this on their forum, a moderator replied this.

"Does not sound like it will kill an enthusiast. Based upon the wording and generalization of the emails regurgitated it sounds like a scam from the very beginning."

Five minutes later when he realized I was talking about his own department of marketing, the thread was deleted.

Sounds like they got what they needed, and you get a large bowl of dicks for your effort.

Yes, I indeed received an offer of a Summit and Emaxx BL Edition, for photos of these very rc that I would sent in exchange

You did well, gaving four essential clues.

ACME effectively can be a fictitious company known for its epic fails.
[WK..] Out in the fabulous Roadrunner cartoon, aka "Texas Road Burner" that suggests that most of the Road Runner and Coyote cartoons Could take place in Texas.

One of you has given me a good clue to find the "X" in Axial, but it was not that brand ..

Roadrunner is "The fastest bird over earth"
ACME also used a slogan associated with the superlative speed, "The fastest name ..." and, in my opinion also the trickster

This is just a warning for all the people might receive simillar offers in the future:Containing free stuff in exchange of something (a deal), they make you sign an agreement and then they simply put the "deal" in hold until new advise.

How to disappoint a RC enthusiast

BadMarketing

[badhoopty]

id be willing to bet it was an overzealous marketing newbie who worked outside of process... a trademark lawyer or art buyer probably got involved and for whatever reason traxxas as a company cannot work with you for whatever reason.

as long as they dont use any of your photography its no big deal, but if they are using your images and did not fullfill the agreements of the rights release you might have a good reason to take them to court.

[trucktrial]

It was the first thing I thought, a newcomer. But this guy works as marketing coordinator for at least five years [Linkedin] and according to their posts, with other two Traxxas work mates.

There may be many strategic reasons for which a company decides the using way for advertising but most of them can be exposed with more or less detail and courtesy after canceling an offer unilaterally.

Throughout the reasons for what they should keep silent,I suposse many that can be either absurd or unbelievable.

[wings_of_fire]

This is disturbing.
Send them notice through a lawer stating that the deal is cancelled and that they have no right to use your work. You have the emails as evidence.

Tell that overly smart guy that you will get him in front of judge Judy. I have also heard that America is a land of opportunities. One can sue someone and become a millionaire. May half of traxxas wealth flow into your wallet. Release the Spanish bull at once.

And do not forget to send him a parcel full of dog poop as a token of Laaaaaaaaave.

This Osbone sherry advertising billboard is a 14-metre (46 ft) high and will be enough



The day in which they -Traxxas.forums- cleared the cache image in their browser or proxy, they will need to explain lots of things.
including appearances of Axial photos, HPI, Gmade, Beverly Hillbillies , and some "inappropriate" texts



I do not want anymore that they use my pics:
