Default RE: "Classic Car Restoration Club"

Has anyone else been getting these emails?

I recently renewed with Hagerty, and think I got an invite as a result of that renewal;
I wasn't sure of what to make of this "free" offer so I signed up...

I seem to be getting emails at a frequency of more than one a day, and at least every second one is asking me to sign up for a paid membership.

It appears as though they are attempting pressure tactics, because the offers all appear to be time sensitive - but it's obvious (to me) that there is nothing time sensitive about their link(s).

This looks like a streaming service for video how-to's.

Does anyone know anything more about this "club"?

Does anyone use them?

The following URL is shortened link from a "view on browser" link which was received in an email of May 30th (so the "Just hours left" should be taken with a grain of salt).

I'm with Hagerty and also just renewed,
but don't get any of that type of nonsense.

I was a member for awhile. I sign up for a year for just a few dollars. I actually enjoyed their video’s since I’m a novice mechanic. They still send me emails constantly and I do look at the free stuff.
For the more detailed videos you have to be a member.
