Default Free Trial E-cig Lux. Can I trust this?

I came across this site that sells free trial Lux e-cig. Pay $4.95 shipping.
http://www.smokelesscignow.com/?B=38...iateID=400006-


Is this a dependable site. Are there any dependable sites that offers free trial.
Do not mind paying atleast $10. It is better than paying $70.
If I like the trial, maybe I can buy.

This sounds like a scam please read E-Cig Scams in the The Reference Library of this forum.

This is a SCAM. Don't go near it with a ten foot pole. Anything "Free" is not free. This company will hit your credit card big time.

Check the Scammers List in the Reference Library.

Here's what you're getting into. From their site. Read it and weep.

3. PURCHASING THE PRODUCT
Upon placing your first order for the Product you will be enrolled in COMPANY.s Program. As a member in the Program, COMPANY will immediately send you a Starter Kit which includes one extended battery, one atomizer, wall charger, one pack of cartridges and an instruction manual and all you pay for is shipping and handling at a rate of $4.95 (USD). In other words, upon enrollment in the Program, you authorize COMPANY to charge your credit card $4.95 (USD). As a member in the Program, you have 14 days to try the Product (the .Trial Period.). Please note that delivery time is subtracted from your Trial Period, and will reduce the number of days allocated to your Trial Period. If the Product is not right for you, call 877-405-9014 during the Trial Period, as long as you return the product in accordance with the time limit described in Section 4, COMPANY will not charge you another dollar. Otherwise, at the end of your Trial Period, as a member in the Program, your credit card will be charged $99.67 (USD) for the Product you already received. Then 30 days from your initial order of the Product (and every 30 days thereafter), you will be sent a new supply of the Product containing 8 packs of cartridges, (A total of 40 cartridges) and your credit card will be charged $59.67 and $4.95 for shipping and handling (the .Monthly Fee.). Please note that Florida residents must add sales tax.

The short answer is no, avoid like a ten foot pole. In all honesty, it is going to cost you $50-100 to start out. Before I can make any recommendations to save you money. How long have you smoked for and what is your daily consumption.?

Believe it or not, you have indeed come to the right place for recommendations. We will get you set up, to get you off analogs (cigs) the cheapest way we can.

Oh god I wish I had come across this earlier. I just ordered this last Wednesday, and I regret it very much. I didn't read the fine print, and I guess now I'm going to have to pay the price. I still have yet to get my trial and can cancel but I have a feeling things won't go exactly like they should.

Keep on calling.

You may just want to cancel that credit card and get a new one with a new number. The easiest way, is to just tell your provider you lost it, they'll close that number and send you out a fresh one. That way you won't have to deal with the re-occurring charges.

Cancelling a CC is reletively easy. I get my card hyjacked all the time. They cancell, and send you a new one with a different number. Mine usually come FedEx next day.

Can anyone help me with the Prado electronic cigarette scam? The "free trial" was billed on my bank card statement for $149.00, and the next statement has come with another charge of $69.00. If I call the bank and claim that they are fraudulant charges, will the money be refunded to me? Thanks for any help. Best regards, Cyndee57

yes you can so long as they are fraudulent charges or in the least you have tried to tell the merchant it was not approved. what the bank will usally do is issue a chargeback it the amounts and do research on it which may or may not require a statement from you. it is possible to get this corrected when you call your bank simply tell them the truth and ask if they can simply give you a new number due to the fact that the merchant is not working with you. i would not advise you to lie but it could help or hurt depends on the bank.
