Do Not Order "Free Trials"!!!

I found out about PV's through the free trials. I called and came close to ordering one, but I didn't, but even if I did I had nothing to worry about because ALL of my purchases online are with a fake name. I also use Pre-paid Visa gift cards to make all purchases online (for this exact reason) and not to fall victim to ID-Theft.

Hi,
I'm I'm a Newbie too. I've been reading here for a while. I can't afford to many errors with my first foray into the world of vaping. I almost "Blue" my $$ on a "Free Trial" offer too, but I did manage to make out the fine print, and thought $125 a bit pricey for carts!

This site rocks btw!!

What site is that?

I haved ordered fom several "freetrial" companies, but i ordered with a prepay card with just the amount for shipping.


Yeah, they got smart to that. I got a pre-pay like that a long time ago and it is the only one I can "scam" scammers with. My newer ones are recognized as pre-paid and scammers can set up their merchant account not to authorize them (I know because I have a business). The flip side is many of the startup scammers don't know this I think because they dont take the time to read their merchant account agreement and options cuz they just want the money they don't care about how they are getting it. But my old one that I have had for 2 years almost does not have this problem. It is recognized as a credit card always as long as I have the funds on it.

I never heard of these scams but it's nice knowing that they are out there. Now if one of my friends who wants to make the switch brings this up I'll have information for him and be able to steer him in the right direction. Been lurking these forums for a while and the amount of knowledge on here is incredible.

I have had some friends tell me that they tried vaping and didn't like it, only to find out they had ordered the free trial, and it turned out to be expensive, and just an all around bad experience. I was able to get a couple of them to try some real vaping gear and which turned them around. Thanks for the post, it's tough to get people who don't know, that all pv's are not created equal.
