Is credit card fraud still prevalent on all the vaping websites?

I quite agree, and I won't use PayPal for that reason and others as well. It saddens me then that Wizard Labs won't sell me anything unless I use PayPal, which I've twice written them about, the second time being just a few minutes ago. The first time they said this would soon change. That was on Nov. 14 when they said:

I'm sorry, because we are doing some Website maintenance, temporarily Pay
Pal is the only way you can pay. This shouldn't be for more then a couple
of days to a week. I do apologize for the inconvenience.…


It's been a month now, and apparently this is not going to change. Until it does I can't be their customer.

Im not sure i understand, with all the CC theft going on , why would you choose not to use one of the safest CC processing companies around? you do not need to have a PP account to use their CC services.

Well for one thing I really don't care for their anti-ecig policy. Then too I've had some nasty experiences with them in the past that would require too long a post to chronicle here. In short I just plain don't like them and I see no reason to include them in my transactions. I've never yet had a problem with CC theft when ordering vaping goods. I've been able to use my CC on every other site I've ordered supplies and devices from, but for some reason Wizard Labs still only offers that payment method. They said it was only temporary, while they were doing site maint, but that was clearly not the case, so I think I was lied to, and I don't like that either.

Seems to me that vaping is growing very rapidly, stores and websites. I have found 4 stores by accident and none were found with an internet search. Therefore very likely that many websites are new. They do not yet know HOW to protect from theft, and maybe even just don't care as long as they make money. All four of those stores employed people who knew less than I, and I am new to this and certainly far from knowledgeable. Probably because the owner can see the money potential but can't afford (or find) people to hire who know about the business. How many websites have you seen that your child could improve?

It's important to know that credit card fraud is prevalent on the internet. Not just one type of sales site. Protect your credit

Also computers and your level of safety is very important and does take upkeep to keep a secure computer.

I make no money from this and it's an old blog but the same principles apply today.
