Just curious - is this a website you are familiar with?

The article is dated August 21, 2011.
The last paragraph says, in part, "Make sure to order before August 21, 2011 to be guaranteed your Risk-Free* Trial Kit."

The offer expiring the day it's made, the whole "Risk-Free* Trial Kit" made me think of the thread at the top of this forum. Then I clicked the link for 'all the details'.

Maybe a look at THIS STICKY THREAD would be a good idea....

It may well be an advertisement, but I must admit, I like the way it started.

"It's what many smokers are calling a "miracle technological breakthrough." But, could making the switch to electronic cigarettes really change your life?"

For me, my PV was a miracle. And e-cigs really have changed my life.

"The use of electronic cigarettes has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. Creators and product users now say you can enjoy a cheaper healthier cigarette without the bad smells, second-hand smoke, or cancer causing chemicals."

All true, and I tell it to anyone who shows any interest. I'm telling so many people, I feel like I suddenly got religion.

I sure wouldn't order their product, or recommend it to a friend, though.

And I'll be that those "last update" and "must order by" dates, currently showing Aug 21 2011 just update themselves. Tomorrow, I expect them to say Aug 22.

In their terms and conditions fine print :

My credit card will be billed and my shipment will be sent automatically at those times. Refill shipments will continue until I call to cancel my Membership at 1-866-830-2464 Monday to Saturday 8am-6pm CST or by emailing us at support@yourorderhelp.com. By clicking to order I represent that I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and full Terms and Conditions of this offer and I understand that I will be liable for payment of product that was shipped to me, and future shipments of product, if I fail to notify customer service to stop supplying the product to me."

"Advertorial"

I should switch to a mad Gollum avitar for this post.

This is a scam that gives e-cigarettes a bad name. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch!" When the "article" makes it look like physicians are certain there are no health risks associated with the use of e-cigarettes, you can be certain that someone is not giving the whole story. Anyone who claims to have the "truth" is either ignorant or a liar.

Sorry about the rant. I don't mind a con that only hurts the person greedy enough to fall for it. But this con hurts many others as well.

It's not a website I'm familiar with. I was searching for something else and saw the link. I have read in the past about the free trials being a scam. I didn't mean to cause any harm to any one. I'm still learning a lot about all this and thought it was informational. I'm really sorry. Is there a way for me to remove the post?

No worries - the newsfomercial is just the latest marketing scam going around these days and you posting this is not causing any harm. If anything you are doing a service by being the example to others who are not aware. It's the creators of these fake news stories that are causing harm to the industry.

Although I have to admit it was one of these scam ads (I didn't fall for it btw) that led me to look into vaping to begin with.

Having just read this article, I found it was very interesting, could be a scam, because the article said to order before 23 August and today is 23 August 2011, not sure......

Click the link at the bottom for 'All the details'. That should remove any doubt as to the fact that this is another of those ripoff scams we have all been warned about.
