I think I know what I'm getting DH. Got something for his mom. No idea for my parents, the boys, my nephews or neices...though I have something for 1 niece.

The outside of the house is done...the tree is still in the basement - nothing inside done.

Mark - still waiting for pictures!

Lynlee - way to go. one day. take tomorrow as it comes.

3 days and I still feel okay. Why I went almost a year nearly having a panic attack every time I even thought about quitting, then got up on Monday thinking 'I got this', I'll never understand.

Now my issue is all my gear is everywhere! I have loads of used cartos that I don't really want to reuse. Only 2 new cartos. am I in the stone ages even using cartos??

I have a $25 GC for happyesmoker and I'm trying to decide what to get. I think I may go with the carto kit that comes with the ego batt. I've been using my ego PT more than anything else. The DCT v2 tank I have seems to give off a really weak hit on my 5v mods. No clue what ohm any of my cartos are.

Starting over.....not easy but worth it. The money I save from not smoking will pay for me to go to a personal trainer. I was doing great for a while but haven't lost a single pound since the beginning of October :/

Have a great day~!!!

Happy eSmoker Clearomizer Kit (Starter Kit)

I'm thinking of getting this one. Or maybe the vivi nova tank and some heads. I've never used anything with a replaceable head!

 

[Paislia]

Nice Lynn - all the best vibes on "starting over". I love both the clearos in that kit and my vivi nova. The replace-able heads are nice b/c they are diff ohms and it is stamped on the side of the metal portion so you'll always know what ohms you're using

 

[BiancaMontgomery]

Lynlee, you'll get better flavor from the Nova and more ohm options, but the little ce4's are decent and last a while. Just get something and get your vape on! Love you girl!

 

[lynleestar]

I think I'm gonna go for the ce4 kit because I could use the ego batt, but i'll check out the Nova when I get some money.

Waiting to hear back from the vendor because my free shipping code isn't working.

Think i'm going to sell my mods I don't want to use also, I have a few

Tis the season for credit card fraud, keep an eye on your statements.

I got an odd email from apple yesterday, saying a package was on its way, with FedEx tracking.

Today a Mac air pro showed, with a charge to my visa. Must have been a surprise to whoever was trying to use my card, that apple has my email and mailing address, so they couldn't divert it elsewhere.

Canceled the visa, got an rma going with apple to send it back.

Its the card I use only for online stuff. Pita, but no harm. Second time I've had to cancel a card this year.

 

[Paislia]

Bummer Mark! But at least the slime didn't get what he wanted

 

[beebopnjazz]

Wow mark glad they didn't actually succeed in getting stuff on your dime!

 

[loxmythe]

Good morning everyone

 

[Paislia]

Good Morning PIF!

Fraud round 2.

Received a return shipping label, and email. The email wording sounded off just slightly, and the address looked odd. Checked and it seems to be a residence.

Anyone know who to report this to? Apple person last night seemed decent, today person was a yack, had the balls to say it must be a prank (no way).

Looks like I'll bring it to a local apple store tomorrow, make sure they properly credit back to visa.

 

[beebopnjazz]

Sure your computer wasn't hacked? (return label to a residence?)

 

[markfm]

Pretty sure. I run multiple antivirus and malware scanners, and the cc data only resides in a highly encrypted specialized app, with complex password.

The card is basically only for online purchases, never leaves home. My other cards, never used online, haven't been hit.

Apparently this is a variant of the "call tag scam". Fraudulent cc order sent to the actual cardholder's address, followed by an email saying there was an error and providing a bogus return label. (I just looked it up, wondering what they called it).

Emails sounded close to legit, but I'm tuned in on proper large company style in wording, they weren't quite correct.

 

[Darkwitless]

good catch Mark!

 

[loxmythe]

Good morning everyone

It's Friday

If anyone runs into Internet CC fraud like I did, one reporting path is: Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home

 

[beebopnjazz]

Thanks mark! Can never be too careful peeps - and so easy to miss while making those credit cards smoke during the holidays.

 

[Paislia]

Wow - thanks for sharing your story Mark! Not sure I would have thought to look up the return address
I try to pay with pp online (not so easy in the vaping world, but everywhere else) and even I have trouble with THAT password most days! (and the "bank" it's threaded to always has about 4 bucks so Pffft on them - no apple computer for you! )

Colleague's wife just got nailed on paypal. Somehow info was compromised, they managed to access her account, change the nominal address. They then apparently set up an internet flood so timewarner ISP stopped passing certain PP-sourced messages to her account. PP had actually sent her a message questioning an account change, tried again while she was on the phone with PP, and they were blocked, didn't get through. Several items fraudulently ordered on PP, sent to NYC.
