I came across this website that offered the following:

1. Access to top golf courses in Singapore
2. Fast online booking
3. Exclusive deals on tee times

I would like to share with brothers and sisters here what transpired after I sign up about slightly more than a month ago.

I click on the website and was prompted to provide my email address in order to access it. A temporary password was sent to my email account almost immediately. I tried logging in with the temporary password intermittently over the past month plus without success.

My suspicion is this could be a website that steals people's email address without your knowledge. If anyone here have encountered any problem with this website please share it here.

So far, I did not really encounter anything except was unable to access it even after providing my email and armed with the temporary password.

So please be careful. Evil or Very Mad

Hello,

I just came across your post. I am with ePrivateGolf.
Before launching our website we put a marketing page online in order to recruit our first members, that's where you signed up.
The marketing page clearly mentioned that users could pre-register for our upcoming launch, meaning that the website was not live yet, and that's why you could not access it at the time. We are sorry for any misunderstanding.

www.eprivategolf.com is now live, you can check it out and contact support@eprivategolf.com for any question you may have.

Thank you,

Stephane

Hello Uncle Lau,

Nice to be in touch with you. We originally wanted to launch www.eprivategolf.com earlier but decided to delay a bit in order to have all the features extensively tested before releasing the website. Some features took a bit longer than expected to get clearance from our project team but we really wanted to get them ready for our launch: you can for example invite your friends to join our community and get free credits for that. That initial delay probably contributed to some interrogations from people who registered early on our marketing page, we realize that and are sorry again for any misunderstanding.

I trust that all is clear now. We are ready to serve the golfing community in Singapore and we are also eager to receive your feedback on our website!

All the best,

Stephane

! Must be my problem since I started. Sorry never read fine print. Eyesight problem. But I did get upset because everytime I tried to log in it keep asking for email address. But it's all clear now.

Problem is I now cannot access and have to register all over again as I have ticked this website as scam. Plus, old man me forgot which email address I was using. Have 6 email addresses.

To play safe, I only provide email that I seldom use on suspicious websites.

But hor, bro neutralgolfer should have replied earlier to prevent all the suspicion.

Oh well, alls well ends well.
