Common Scams

[Jim Davis]

Don't let it eat you up chooky;

Even if you overpaid for your first one, it still got you started. Consider it a starters fee. My first 4081 kit was about $70.00. I found them much cheaper as I researched, but that's all in the past.

We're here *now* and we're vaping a little wiser. That's all that matters.

I started vaping in January of this year. My first experience was with Lux E-Cig and their Free Trial Offer, which I did order. I printed out their rules and regulations (contract) and immediatly tried to cancel. Their e-mail was not working and their web-site was under construction. I called the 800 # the very next day and tried to cancel and was told I they could not stop the order as it was already shipped. so I got a return order # from them. The second they came in I wrote the RO # on the pkg. and returned it by registered mail. I rec'd the return notification within the 14 day free trial limit. My account was charged the original s/h chgs, $30.00 for some internet magazine, and just today 3-months later they charged my account another $10.00 re-stocking fee which they refuse to return to me. Their contract states if product returned within 14days no other fees would be charged. ??? This place will charge you $99.00 for the free pkg. and $45- $50 per month for refil filters. Stay far far away

Welcome suewbear.

Since the e-cig got popular, the scammers are out in force. People just have to their common sense, and think, if it sounds too good to be true, it isn't.

Nothing is given away free or dirt cheap.

I saw a lot of those. My saving grace is that they were valid for US only.

The Scammers list in the reference library has been updated. More to come

Thx for the update to the list jim.

I do a e-cig search at least once a week to look for these guys. Their sites have to be checked closely for scamming. We don't want to give a good supplier a bad name.

The scammers list is mostly for the new members. The older members know better than to buy a 4081, 103, or 401 for $200.00.

However, if you'd like to spend $200.00 for a 4081, give me a call.

The down side Jim, the majority of us don't hit the forum until the deed is done.

That's true with most of the new people Rick;

There's not much that can be done when that happens. I tell most to consider it a "Starters Fee" and move on.

I was one of the lucky ones. I researched for a few weeks before I jumped into the pool.
