at 58 years i fell for the big scam

[skoony]

first let me say i wanted to post this in the new members forum but the post new stuff thing was no where to be found.

moderators,i've posted this in the new user section in all the 4 forums i'm regestered at.
please feel free to modify,remove,or move to a different forum topic as you feel necassary.




hi all,
well there i went again.
having recently recieved emails for free starter kits
i went and ordered 3.the sight i went to had 4 or 5 offers from different compinies and said these are free kits,just pay the shipping.
guess what.
wait for it.
scams all of them.


liftvapor.
ecigsbrand.com.
ecigcustomerservice.com


what they do is bill your card monthly for unwanted supplies
after yor trail period.
thets right trail.
what happened to the free starter kits.
there not free.
i got the first kit today from liftvapors.i had an issue with the charger,
the batts would'nt screw into it.wrong or damaged threading.


so i googled liftvapor and along with all the results were
buku complaints.


well i researched it some more and contacted my states attorny generals office
and developed a stratigy.


seeing i had allready opened and used liftvapors kit before i found out
it was'nt free but a trail the policy is i must get a return number from
them and return the product unused.
to void the agreement.
how can this be done?
it cant.
because to meet your obligation to they're agreement you have to use the product first.


so i will contact them and request a shipping lable from the're shipper of choice
and i'll repack it and send it back.
i'm only out my shipping charge.
otherwise i will consider this product mine.
minnesota has laws concerning hold harmless contracts.


i'll contact the other two and make them the same offer.


if you do cancel there auto billing the charge you full retail on what you got.
which i figure to 200% of retail from the overpriced ecigalike sites.


i will keep every one informed as i go through this ordeal.
regards

Mentally, I have volumes of books titled "Things I never have to do again." Unfortunately, I have volumes more yet to be written.

If it sounds too good to be true,it probably is.

If they refuse to work with you on getting a refund just tell them you are going to dispute the charges with your credit card company. One way or another I'd be getting all of my money back. Wife did the same thing with some "free" diet pill. They really put the pressure on her when she tried to cancel the subscription. After about 3 supervisors and being on the phone for 45 mins they finally agreed to refund. I know it's a pain the ... to deal with those people but your credit card company requires that you at least try that route. If all else fails just dispute with credit card company. I've had to do that twice in my life but it is pretty painless. Less painless than having to hear the scammers drivel for 45 mins.

I agree with Buzz. Thanksgiving for posting your experience. Hopefully it will save someone from losing money. And I hope. that you get your money back. Have you gotten a new set up to vape with yet?

You did that right. Notify the card company in writing by registered mail that you want that card is canceled. Cut it up and get a new one.

this morning i did some leg work and got return numbers from all of them.
only one gave me a real hassle.
it will cost me about 14 bucks to return them with mail confirmation.
about 35 bucks total i'm out.
i'll count my blessings.
i returned the one i allready recieved this morning.
still waiting for the other two.
hope they get here before time expires.
i'll keep ya posted and pass the word.
